Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility has received near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition, this facility received high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Compounding its high-end assessment, this facility also was given a strong short-term care score, with a score of A. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we rated is long-term care, in which this facility was given a B-. Although this is its worst category score, this is nevertheless not the end of the world. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.02913 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
