Facility Inspections

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest grades. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home performed well in our long-term care category. As a result, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our higher scores. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

The next category we analyzed was nursing. For that category, we gave this facility a C. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic.
