Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection 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 facility performed well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a score of A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.71383 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we assessed is nursing. In this category, we gave this facility a decent grade of B-. This actually was this nursing home's worst category. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
