Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its favorable overall performance, we gave this place a grade of A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.628456 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the third category, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the last category, this facility was given an acceptable nursing grade. Although this wasn't as elite as some of its other category grades, this is really not a bad grade. Our nursing score consists of many subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
