Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. We awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Our inspection grades are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this nursing home. Without having access to complete deficiency data, it was difficult to grade it in terms of this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing category includes many factors, most of which are associated with levels of 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third most favorable area was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we graded is long-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of C for this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.039215 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
