Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Building on its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we gave it an B+ for that category. Our nursing grade is mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility received an impressive long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.41791 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility 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: C

The next area we assessed is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in that area. In our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
