Facility Inspections

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this place also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care scores this year. In fact, we gave it one of our higher scores in that area, with a score of B+. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.60725 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. We weighed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is well below average. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable score. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
