Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that category, with a grade of B+. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 80.94405 percent of its residents, which is slightly less than we were hoping for. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we analyzed is nursing, where this facility received a grade of C. This actually proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. This is still not the end of the world. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, while this nursing home did not rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it performed much better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than average.
