Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. It does not appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ short-term care grade, rendering it one of the few facilities to be given several A+ category scores. Short-term care grades are commonly used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was strong in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Not many nursing homes received a better grade in this area. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided vaccination data. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

The final area we analyzed is nursing, where this nursing home received an A. This finished off a very strong report card. Very few facilities received an A- or higher in in each area we assessed. In determining our nursing scores, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
