Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

An additional reason we rated this facility so highly is that it was awarded an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as elite as it gets in this category. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also want to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a strong score of A in our long-term care category. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.72452 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The last category we looked at is nursing, where this nursing home was given a grade of A-. This finished off a very strong profile. Not many facilities earned an A- or better in every category. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
