Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Only a select group of nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing grade assesses quite a few datapoints, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we analyzed was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is a fair grade in this area. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.49624 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
