Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it was awarded a very impressive long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second most impressive category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth area, this facility received a decent short-term care grade of C. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
