Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Adding to its profile, this facility also received a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.62543 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a favorable short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home was awarded a C for nursing, which is an acceptable rating. The nursing rating includes many factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.
