Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also wanted to note that this nursing home received an B in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that category. This is a decent grade in this area. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 92.19858 percent of its patients, which is a bit less than we anticipated. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
