Facility Inspections

Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

Grade: B-plus
Another one of this facility's above average category grades came in the category of short-term care. We gave them one of our more positive grades in that area, with a score of B+. In our short-term care score, we try to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home.

Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: D
The last category we looked at was long-term care, ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. This was one of the couple of weak points on an otherwise strong profile. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
