Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 94.73684 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing score weighs quite a few factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we rated was short-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D in short-term care, making this the facility's least impressive area. We would still recommend that you consider all of a nursing home's grades. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
