Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. As a result, we awarded it a score of A- for that area, which turns out to be one of our most impressive grades. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing score is based on a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a C. This actually is this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
