Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none 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

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 85 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we anticipated. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

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. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we rated is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher grades in that category, with a B. This facility proved to be relatively strong in all areas we analyzed. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
