Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspection reports. We gave it an A for this category, which is one of our best grades. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we scored is short-term care. We gave it a C in that area. This is not a bad grade in this area. With our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
