Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this area with an A-. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them 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: B-plus

This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a B+ in this area, which is one of our better. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 84.34783 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing score. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last area, we awarded this facility a D in short-term care. This is the facility's weakest category grade. Of course, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. Our short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
