Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not 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: A

We also gave this nursing home a score of A for our long-term care grade. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.20755 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third highest area is its short-term care grade, where it was given a C. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored was nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. This really was one of the couple of weak points of a strong report card. The nursing rating features a number of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
