Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area 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: B-plus

This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we scored is long-term care, in which this facility received a C. This actually ended up being this facility's worst area. This is nevertheless not the end of the world. In determining our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by a facility's patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.548386 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
