Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also earned an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B+. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B-. Even though this wound up being its poorest category score, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 56.976746 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
