Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our higher scores in this area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best grade. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. The nursing category weighs many datapoints, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our next area is short-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
