Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving an elite overall rating, this facility received an A+ inspection grade. This grade is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home fared well in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A for that category, which happens to be one of our most impressive grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we assessed is nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of C. This actually proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. This is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. While this place ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care available, it surprisingly performed admirably in a few of our quality measures. It was above average in two of the statistics we assess, with positive reviews for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are good measures of the quality of nursing care provided since many falls and bed sores are preventable.
