Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average score in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a resident even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we scored was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in that category. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 96.22642 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
