Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent 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

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it was awarded a dominant long-term care score. In fact, long-term care turned out to be its second highest category score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its next most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this category, which is a respectable grade. In determining these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we rated is nursing, is this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. This is one of the couple of weak points in an otherwise strong profile. There are a variety of factors within this area. Many of these subcategories are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. While this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its residents appear to be suffering fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
