Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this area.

Finally, we also assessed 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 place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this area. Short-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Grade: B

The final area we rated is long-term care, in which this facility received a B. This facility turned out to be strong in all areas we analyzed. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.993996 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
