Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in that category, with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it was awarded a strong short-term care score. In fact, short-term care is its second most favorable category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we analyzed was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a facility's amount of care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.4359 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded was nursing. This facility was given a better than average nursing rating this year, with a B-. While this isn't nearly as dominant as some of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable score in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percent of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
