Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it a grade of A+ for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. As a result, we gave it a score of A- for that area, which happens to be one of our most dominant scores. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. It performed as well as just about any nursing home in the country with 66 percent of its residents returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we graded is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 99.04306 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.8 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the fourth area, this facility was given a grade of C in nursing, which we consider to be an acceptable grade. When calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, this place was relatively weak in some of the major areas we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
