Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's above average category grades came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive grades in that category, with a grade of B. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a resident more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home received a grade of B- in long-term care, which is generally an acceptable grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility gave the vaccine to only 84.81375 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
