Facility Inspections

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

In addition, we gave this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing grade includes several subcategories, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place 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

The final category we rated is long-term care, is this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This really was one of just a few weak links on a quality report card. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.37838 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
