Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall rating, this facility fared even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also awarded this facility a score of A for our short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation with 65.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly a bit of a disappointment. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 78.04878 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is several points less than what we expected. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
