Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility was given strong scores in the category of long-term care as well. In fact, it received one of our best grades in that category with a score of A. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Our nursing category is based on quite a few components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we assessed was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. This proved to be this facility's least impressive category. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the number of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
