Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without all of the deficiency data, it is difficult to evaluate it in terms of this category.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we looked at was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
