Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility performed well in our inspections category, where it earned a grade of A+. Very few facilities fared as well in this area. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other strengths is its top-shelf long-term care score. It received one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of A-.

After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data.

Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In calculating these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed ended up being this facility's worst area. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it a respectable grade of C for our nursing category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.
