Awards

Long-term Care Quality
This facility earned favorable marks in long-term care this year. We gave them a solid grade in that area, with a B+. This turned out to be the facility's top grade and helped its profile quite a bit. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Surprisingly, this facility actually received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care grade is often used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services To offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Our final area is nursing, where we awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area. In calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
