Facility Inspections

Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale.

Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility excelled in our short-term care category. We awarded them an exemplary grade of A+ in this area. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was superb in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Not many facilities received a better grade in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility also performed admirably in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it an A- in this area. This completed a straight A report card. Our nursing grade is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
