Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in that category, with a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility performed well in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A for that category, which is one of our most favorable scores. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we looked at is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a solid grade in that category, with a C. While this was not as favorable as a few of this facility's other scores, it is still nothing to be ashamed of. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
