Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility a strong grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our more impressive grades. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. It does not look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. There are quite a few datapoints within this category. Many of the criteria reflect nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth category, this facility was given a decent long-term care score of C. Long-term care ratings are vital for patients seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
