Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its impressive resume, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that area. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Turning our third category, this nursing home was given a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to our final area, this facility was awarded a highly favorable nursing score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this area, topping off one of our more impressive profiles. Our nursing score consists of several factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
