Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few facilities fared as well in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe 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

We also awarded this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 82.93051 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. The nursing rating assesses several subcategories, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B-. While this is its poorest category score, this is still a middle of the pack score. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
