Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great facility overall, it also received A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually perfect. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk 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

We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a high-end score of A- in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.56115 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. There are quite a few factors within this grade. Many of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we rated was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of B. Even though this was not as strong as many of this nursing home's other scores, it is still a fine grade. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
