Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in that category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

An additional quality feature for this nursing home is that it received a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our better scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.60465 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we analyzed is nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. While this nursing home ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care offered, it actually performed admirably in a few of our quality-based metrics. In fact, it was above average in two of the statistics we assess, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
