Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received excellent inspections recently. We gave it one of our highest grades in that category, with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its first-rate resume, this facility also received a superb short-term care score, with a grade of A. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning our next category, this nursing home received a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a score of A- in that area. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.765434 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to the next area, this nursing home was given an excellent nursing rating. While this is not as dominant as some of its other grades, this remains one of our better scores a facility can receive. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
