Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this place also received top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of A-. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk 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: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.54128 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provided just 0.8 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to the last area, this facility received a B- for short-term care, which is an acceptable grade. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
