Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category grade. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we graded was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
