Facility Inspections

Grade: A+

In addition to performing well overall, this facility earned nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our best scores in that area with an A+. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility received quality marks in the category of short-term care. Consequently, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category.

Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Moving on to the last area, this nursing home was given a highly favorable long-term care grade. We awarded it an A in this area, rounding out a straight A profile. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.8022 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
