Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this place a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6 percent of this facility'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. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to the final category, this facility was given a grade of B- in long-term care, which is a respectable grade. Our long-term care grades are more critical for folks requiring more traditional services associated with personal care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 89.07563 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit less than average. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
