Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate facility overall, this facility also excelled in our long-term care category, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.66102 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home has earned near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an A in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are many factors within this area. Many of the criteria reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning patients at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated was short-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of B-. This was this nursing home's worst category. Our short-term care ratings are likely more meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
