Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.22222 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. We were not able to locate deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. The nursing grade is based on a handful of subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last area, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our short-term care grade. This finished off a first-rate report card. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
