Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for inspections. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

Another reason we assessed this facility so highly is that it was given an A+ short-term care grade. This is just about as strong as it gets in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. There are many subcategories included in this area. Many of these datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final category, we awarded this facility an A+ for our long-term care score. This finished off a first-rate profile. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
