Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to faring well overall, this facility received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 92.89617 percent of its patients, which is slightly below what we expected. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we scored is nursing. This nursing home was awarded a better than average nursing rating this year, with a grade of B. While this isn't quite as strong as several of its other scores, this is nevertheless one of our better scores in this area. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
