Facility Inspections

On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best grades in this area, with a grade of A. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider 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

This nursing home received a favorable long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 86.76471 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was given its third highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent score. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

The last category we scored was nursing. This nursing home was given a grade of C for this area. Our nursing score is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
