Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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

Among this nursing home's other achievements is its dominant long-term care grade. We gave them one of our most impressive grades in that category, with a score of A. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 60.869568 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B-. This actually is this facility's least impressive category. This is still not the end of the world. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
