Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A+. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to alert you to the fact that this nursing home received a top-shelf grade of A- in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility provided the vaccine to 57.407406 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we were hoping for. Clearly, this nursing home 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 a remarkably low number.

Grade: B

The last area we looked at is nursing, in which this facility received a B. While this is its poorest category score, this is still a good rating.

This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
