Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this facility also received an A+ inspection score. This grade is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a nursing home. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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 was awarded a favorable long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that area with a grade of B+. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third most favorable area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is more often than not a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we graded was nursing. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This proved to be this facility's weakest category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.
