Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our last category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in that area. In the category of long-term care, we look at the amount of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
