Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility earned an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home fared very well in our short-term care category. We awarded them a dominant grade of A+ in this category. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Turning our next category, this facility received a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in this area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.969696 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to our fourth area, this facility was awarded a strong nursing rating. In fact, we awarded it an A- in that category, rounding out a straight A profile. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
