Facility Inspections

In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A+. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Another reason we graded this nursing home so highly is that it was awarded an A+ long-term care grade. This is flat out as dominant as it gets in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.101265 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we scored was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This actually ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, 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. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
