Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient 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

This facility also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.52153 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was given a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we looked at is nursing, where this facility was given a grade of C. While this ended up being its weakest category score, this is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our score in this area. 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. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care.
