Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also received a very strong long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this facility's second strongest category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last area we graded is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. This actually was this facility's worst area. A facility is doing something right when their poorest score still is better than most other nursing homes. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. It doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
