Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a quality facility overall, this place especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in that area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are important for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.32402 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we graded was nursing. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our nursing rating weighs a variety of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing scores. This place was subpar in two of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are usually indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
