Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well overall, this nursing home received nearly flawless government inspections. Consequently, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was dominant in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Not many facilities fared better in this area. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our long-term care grade. This finished off a very impressive profile. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.66327 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
