Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this very important category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. The nursing score assesses a handful of datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home was awarded an elite grade of A- in our long-term care area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 84.745766 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we expected but still a respectable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, 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 an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was awarded an excellent short-term care grade. While this was not as good as many of its other scores, this is still one of the stronger grades we offer. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is more often than not a useful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
