Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of performing well overall, this facility received an excellent inspection report. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this area with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also received a fine short-term care score. In fact, this ended up being this nursing home's third strongest category grade. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored was long-term care, in which this facility was given a B-. While this turned out to be its poorest category rating, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. In calculating our long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.71265 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
