Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also was awarded a impressive long-term care grade. This actually ended up being this facility's second most impressive category score. In that area, this facility received a score of A. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.5 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility 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

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated is short-term care. In this area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's weakest area. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
