Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best area is its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.4466 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our fourth category, this facility really did not fare well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is its worst category. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
