Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category tend to 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This exemplary nursing home also performed well in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A+. Only a small group of facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating features numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we graded was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B. This actually is this facility's least impressive area. A facility could be doing a lot worse when their poorest score still is better than most nursing homes. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
