Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.27536 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. There are quite a few criteria included in this grade. Many of these factors reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is not an impressive total. Finally, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored is short-term care. This facility was awarded a very good short-term care grade this year, with a grade of B-. While this isn't as dominant as a few of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable rating in this area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
