Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in this area, with a grade of A+. Inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having access to all of the deficiency related data for this facility, it is a challenge to fully assess the place in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. The nursing rating assesses a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.42105 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
