Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Contributing to its profile, this facility also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we graded is nursing. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. While this nursing home didn't have as many nursing hours as many of the other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of preventing major falls.
