Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its favorable overall performance, we awarded this nursing home an A- for the area of inspections. Our inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies 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: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care grades this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After considering the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also was given favorable short-term care grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of B. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we graded is nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. There are a number of factors included in this category. Many of the subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We like to look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
