Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to earning a quality overall grade, this facility also received excellent inspections recently. We gave it one of our highest scores in that category, with an A. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident 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

Compounding its elite performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home a score of A for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility 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. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was awarded a impressive long-term care grade. This actually is its third strongest category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.14286 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last area we assessed was nursing, where this facility was given a B. While this wound up being its weakest category rating, this is nevertheless a favorable rating. Our nursing rating is based on a variety of data points. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
