Facility Inspections

To go along with a strong overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspection category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose 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

We also gave this facility a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

The last area we rated is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a solid score in this category, with a B-. While this wasn't as high as a few of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless not a major area of concern. There are a host of criteria included in this category. Many of these subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
