Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned first-rate government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in that category, with an A+. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 89.37824 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a fair assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we analyzed was nursing. For this category, we awarded this facility a C. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
