Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category. In the category of long-term care, we look at the amount of services provided by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.65871 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
