Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home performed well in our long-term care category. As a result, we gave it a score of A for that category, which is one of our most dominant grades. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 90.97222 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best category is short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored is nursing. This nursing home was awarded a favorable nursing rating this year, with a B-. Even though this isn't as dominant as many of its other scores, this is still a respectable rating in this area. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
