Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A- in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of short-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a score of B+. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is considered to be a meaningful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we graded was long-term care. We gave this facility a C in that area. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 92.27642 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
