Facility Inspections

To pair with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This score is far better than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher grades. Nursing homes that receive this type 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 quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 79.194626 percent of its residents against pneumonia.

Nurse Quality

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the final category, this facility was given a grade of C for short-term care, which is a decent score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
