Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's quality category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 66.820274 percent of its patients, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at was short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B-. Although this wound up being its worst category grade, this is nevertheless not a major area of concern. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
