Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive scores in that category, with a score of B. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.3346 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

The next area we scored is nursing. We awarded this facility a C in this area. Nursing grades are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
