Facility Inspections

In addition to being a strong facility overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility performed well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A for that area, which turns out to be one of our most dominant scores. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.25373 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we assessed is short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in that area. Short-term care grades are often used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. It doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
