Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to performing well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was superb in our short-term care category. We awarded them an exemplary grade of A+ in this area. Our short-term care ratings are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we graded was long-term care, in which this facility received a C. While this turned out to be its worst category rating, this is still not a bad grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.10145 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
