Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider 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-minus

Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was given a very favorable long-term care score. We awarded them a strong grade of A- in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we rated is nursing, in which this facility was given a B-. Even though this proved to be its least impressive category rating, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was subpar in two of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
