Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a positive score in long-term care. This facility received a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive grades. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.70115 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse score was short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. Short-term care grades are generally used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place offers fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. It received an F for this category, which is certainly a major concern. Our nursing score assesses several components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
