Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a strong facility overall, this place also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in that category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A-. Our nursing score is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third best category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In our short-term care score, we strive to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we looked at was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in this category. Naturally, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 98.26087 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
