Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded it an A+ in this area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient 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 gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 72.954926 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. Our short-term care grade is often employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services To offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive category is nursing, which is the final area we assessed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this facility also did not fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed in this category.
