Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few facilities fared better in this area. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Building on its impressive resume, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an B+ for that category. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. In our short-term care score, we seek to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home 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 last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the last category, this nursing home was given an acceptable long-term care score. Although this was not quite as good as many of its other category grades, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. In calculating our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 90.68826 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
