Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home was awarded a strong short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B+. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. There are many criteria included in this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the final area, this facility received an acceptable long-term care rating. Even though this isn't as dominant as some of its other scores, this is still not a major area of concern. In calculating our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care received by a nursing home's residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
