Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.01961 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we analyzed is nursing. This facility received a B- for this category. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
