Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with a strong overall score, we awarded this place an A+ for inspections. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the final category, this nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care rating, with a B+. This topped off a very impressive profile. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 96.65072 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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.
