Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall rating, this facility also earned an A+ inspection score. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none 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

We also gave this nursing home a score of A for our long-term care score. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we graded is short-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of C. This is this facility's worst category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
