Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a quality overall grade, this nursing home also received excellent inspections recently. We gave it one of our best scores in that category, with an A. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its high-end profile, this facility also was given a dominant short-term care score, with a grade of A-. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was given a high-end long-term care score. This actually turned out to be this facility's third strongest category grade. In that area, this facility received a score of A-. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 88.46154 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last category we graded was nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a favorable grade of B. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
