Inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility was awarded impressive grades in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded it one of our most dominant scores in that category with a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 90.55118 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B+. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed is nursing, is this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in this category. This was one of the couple of dings in an otherwise strong profile. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Unfortunately, this place also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed in this category.
