Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspection category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Building on its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an B+ for that category. Our nursing rating is based on a handful of datapoints, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we scored is long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B. This actually ended up being this nursing home's worst category. A facility is doing something right when their lowest score still beats out most other nursing homes. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.70782 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
