Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A+ for this category, which is one of our best grades. Inspection grades are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home fared well in the category of long-term care. As a result, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our most favorable grades. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing score is largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our next area, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care grade of C. Short-term care scores are critical for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
