Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far better than its overall rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received a strong score in our short-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this area. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a poor score. This is certainly a significant concern. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.08257 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
