Facility Inspections

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 88.61111 percent of its patients. This is slightly below what we expected. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The last area we looked at is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. This facility did not turn out to have any weak grades. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
