Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall score, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility was given strong scores in the area of short-term care as well. In fact, we gave it one of our most elite grades in that area with a area of A-. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing category includes several factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we graded is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a B-. This ended up being this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 86.013985 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents 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.
