Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also was given a very favorable long-term care grade. We awarded them a strong grade of A- in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. 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 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is often a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the final category, we gave this facility a D in the area of nursing. This is the facility's worst category score. Unfortunately, this score pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
