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. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It outpaced most facilities in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next best category was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we assessed is nursing. This nursing home was given a B- for this category. In computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.
