Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this place a grade of A for the area of inspections. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this area. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 77.906975 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a bit less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The next area we graded was short-term care. This nursing home received a favorable short-term care grade, with a B+ in this area. Our short-term care grades are important for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to our last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing. This was the facility's weakest category score. Of course, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. Our nursing rating is based on numerous data points. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This particular place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed in this category.
