Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.03448 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing grade assesses many factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we scored is short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our short-term care grades are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
