Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspection category. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a score of B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 53.75 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The next category we assessed was short-term care. This facility was awarded an above average short-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we assessed is nursing. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. This actually proved to be this facility's least impressive category. Our nursing grade is based on several subcategories, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
