Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we graded was nursing, is this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. This was one of just a couple of dings in an otherwise impressive profile. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 83.89262 percent of its patients, which is well below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
