Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our next area, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 95.14564 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we rated was short-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home a strong grade of B. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
