Facility Inspections

To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, 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

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. There are many subcategories included in this category. Many of these criteria reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's weakest area is short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
