Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this place a grade of A- for the area of inspections. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's above average category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 90.02494 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. The nursing score weighs a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
