Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded them a B in that category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Grade: B

Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing grade. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our next area, this nursing home was awarded a C for long-term care, which is generally an acceptable score. Our long-term care scores are more important for individuals in need of more conventional services associated with personal care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 83.59909 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
