Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. Our nursing grade includes quite a few components, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 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 pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third area we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.78744 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the next area, this facility really didn't fare well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's worst category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
