Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to earning a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for this category, which is one of our best grades. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded an above average long-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being its second best category grade. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 68.49817 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing rating includes several datapoints, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the last category, we awarded this facility a D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
