Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care score. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the next area, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we graded was nursing. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
