Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category generally have very few 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was elite in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Not many facilities received a better grade in this area. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.3964 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing score considers a host of subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility received an excellent short-term care score. We awarded it a B+ in this area, rounding out one of our more impressive profiles. Our short-term care ratings are critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
