Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility has received near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an A+ in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our better scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given a better than average nursing grade this year, with a grade of B. Even though this isn't nearly as impressive as some of its other grades, this remains one of our better scores for that area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.141266 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
