Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection scores are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe 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

This nursing home also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with a superb grade of A- in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third area we assessed was short-term care, where this facility's score was significantly lower as some of its other scores. In that category, we awarded this facility an F. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It looks like this place was subpar in many staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a poor grade. This is obviously a significant concern. The nursing category assesses a handful of data points, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
