Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we awarded it an A+. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home was given high marks in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most dominant grades in that category with a area of A-. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of C in the area. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
