Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this place excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in that category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given a favorable long-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we graded was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is often a solid measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 3.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
