Facility Inspections

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's long-term care rating ended up being one of its higher features. The nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. In determining our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care received by a facility's residents. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home received a grade of C in short-term care, which is a decent rating. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
