Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies 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: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive long-term care score. Indeed, long-term care ended up being its second most favorable category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.79487 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. There are a variety of factors within this grade. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the next area, this facility received a decent short-term care grade. Although this wasn't as elite as several of its other grades, this is truly not a major area of concern. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
