Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this place really excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in that area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it received an impressive short-term care score. In fact, this ended up being its second best category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed was nursing, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B. This nursing home ended up being very solid in each area we assessed. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
