Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place also excelled in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Not many facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk 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: B

This facility also was awarded an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 65.17857 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we looked at was nursing, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Unfortunately, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
