Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to its first-rate resume, this facility also was given an excellent long-term care grade, with a score of A-. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.71795 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of B. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last category we rated was nursing. This nursing home was given a better than average nursing rating this year, with a grade of B. While this is not as elite as some of its other category grades, this is still one of our stronger scores in that area. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident more often.
