Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for this category, which is one of our highest grades. Our inspection ratings are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was given a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. In our short-term care rating, we try to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities 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. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It outpaced most facilities in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 87.5 percent of its patients. This is slightly below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.07 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we rated is nursing. This facility received a very good nursing rating this year, with a B-. Even though this wasn't nearly as strong as some of its other grades, this remains a decent score in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
