Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We also would like to point out that this nursing home has received nearly flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an A in this area. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to note the fact that this facility was given a dominant score of A- in our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

The final category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home received a B+. This wrapped up a first-rate report card. Only a select few facilities received a B+ or higher in all four categories. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. 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' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
