Facility Inspections

We also would like to emphasize the fact that this nursing home has earned excellent health inspections recently. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also received a first-rate long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second strongest category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.58156 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we assessed is short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B. This actually was this nursing home's worst category. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when it's worst grade still is superior to most other nursing homes. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most critical for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
