Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to point out the fact that this nursing home was awarded a high-end grade of A- in our short-term care area. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we assessed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. This actually proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when it's lowest grade still is superior to most other facilities. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 91.54929 percent of its residents, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for. Finally, 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 number.
