Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Among the reasons we graded this facility so well is that it was given a dominant long-term care score. In fact, long-term care is its second most favorable category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.875 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients 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: C

We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is nursing, where we awarded this facility a C in this category. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused measures. We especially like to look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
