Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an impressive inspection grade. Inspections ended up being its best category. In that area, we gave this facility an A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Nursing ratings are largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received a high-end score of A- in our long-term care area. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we rated was short-term care. In this area, we gave this facility an above average grade of B. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
