Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, this is this nursing home's second most impressive category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 93.32425 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

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+. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place 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: B-plus

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for this area. This finalized a first-rate report card. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
