Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to earning a strong overall grade, this facility also earned excellent inspections recently. We gave it one of our best scores in that category, with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On the list of its many high-end scores, this nursing home was awarded first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.60784 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the senior population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home was awarded a favorable short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we scored is nursing, in which this facility was given a grade of B-. This is this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. The nursing rating considers a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
