Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A. Inspection scores are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients 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 nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed was long-term care, is this facility's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This really was one of the few dings in a strong report card. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.67442 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
