Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its favorable overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem 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

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the category of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored was nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Of course, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
