Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection rating. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this facility is that it received an above average long-term care grade. In fact, this wound up being its second best category grade. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.85714 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a decent short-term care rating. While this was not as strong as a few of its other scores, this is truly not a terrible score. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is more often than not a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
