Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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: A

This nursing home also performed well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of A in that area, which happens to be one of our highest grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility earned a strong nursing grade as well. It earned one of our higher grades in that area with a score of F. In determining our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated is short-term care, which is this facility's least impressive area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is certainly a major concern. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. It looks like this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we considered. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
