Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few 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 tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. 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 performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our most dominant grades. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities next most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we rated was nursing. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. The nursing rating analyzes several components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
