Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its favorable overall score, we gave this place an A- for the area of inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received impressive scores in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded it one of our most elite grades in that category with a score of A-. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 85.416664 percent of its patients. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing category is based on several subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home was given a strong short-term care rating. This facility did not turn out to have any weak categories. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
