Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it earned a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In that category, we gave it an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the area of short-term care. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing score includes many datapoints, but the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. 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 nursing home 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 typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 97.4359 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
