Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses are with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided just 0.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that 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 actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we looked at was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's weakest category grade. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.53917 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
