Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home was awarded an impressive long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.874596 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third category we assessed is short-term care. This facility was given a very positive short-term care grade, with a B in this area. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few components, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
