Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. These inspection grades 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. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which is one of our better grades. In computing these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we looked at is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this facility's weakest area. In the category of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
