Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B+. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also would like to note that this nursing home was awarded favorable short-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our better grades in this area, with a B. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 94.18605 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
