Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this place an A for the area of inspections. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing grade is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Short-term care scores are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B-. Although this ended up being its poorest category rating, this is still not the end of the world. Our long-term care scores are more critical for residents needing more traditional services related to activities of daily living. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 84.593834 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
