Facilities that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

This means 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 the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place.

Grade: B

Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our final area is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of C in that category. In determining our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by the facility's residents. 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. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 98.25581 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable statistic. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
