Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Not many facilities performed better in that area. Inspection grades are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Only a select group of facilities performed more favorably in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 93.23797 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are quite a few subcategories included in this area. Many of these subcategories are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at is short-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This is this facility's least impressive area. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
