Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat 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: B

This facility is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.35683 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we analyzed is short-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of C for the area. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
