Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility was given impressive marks in the category of long-term care as well. As a result, it received one of our most dominant scores in that category with a area of A-. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.965515 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the last category, this nursing home received a respectable nursing grade. Although this is not quite as strong as many of its other scores, this is still not a terrible score. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
