Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of performing well overall, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Nursing scores are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B+. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.50549 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we rated is short-term care, in which this facility received a B. Believe it or not, this ended up being this facility's worst area. A facility could be doing a lot worse when it's lowest score still beats out most facilities. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
