Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in this category, with an A+. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this facility is that it was awarded a favorable long-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 68.10811 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B- in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed was nursing. For this category, we gave this facility a C. Nursing grades are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We like to look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
