Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On the list of its many high-end scores, this facility was awarded first-rate short-term care score. In fact, we gave it a score of A in this area. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also was elite in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Very few nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 90.22556 percent of its patients. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the final category we graded, this facility was awarded a very favorable grade of A- in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility wrapped up a straight A report card. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
