Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this place an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this facility a score of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. In the area of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, rather than more sophisticated services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.46006 percent of its patients. This is somewhat lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded is nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category, making this the facility's least impressive area. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. While this facility didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in a few of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home was above average in this metric, which is one redeeming quality we found in this category.
