Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Our nursing score is mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a respectable score in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 98.623856 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our last area, we awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category grade. Of course, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Our short-term care scores are probably more critical for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
