Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.57304 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. We looked at the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a C. In our short-term care category, we attempt to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
