Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A+ in this category. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing rating includes many datapoints, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed was short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that category. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
