Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being an elite nursing home overall, this nursing home also performed well in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Few places fared as well in this category. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. We weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 75.80645 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

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. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 Alabama in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we scored was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a C. This actually was this facility's worst category. This is still not a poor grade. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 3.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
