Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this area. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Our nursing score is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility was awarded a favorable short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a grade of B+. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given a better than average long-term care grade this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this isn't nearly as impressive as some of its other grades, this remains an acceptable grade in that category. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for individuals requiring more traditional services related to personal care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.9854 percent of its patients, which is a very solid total. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
