Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its strong assessment, this facility also received an excellent short-term care grade, with a score of A. Our short-term care ratings are important for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the next category, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.7013 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home also excelled in the nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this category. This topped off a very strong profile. The nursing rating weighs a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 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 well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically 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.
