One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

This grade is generally a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B-. While this is its least impressive category rating, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. With our long-term care score, we focus more on the sheer quantity of care provided by a nursing home, along with a few quality data points. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.
