Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize that this facility earned near flawless health inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.572815 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our more positive scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we rated is nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of B. This nursing home did not prove to have any weak grades. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
