Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Inspection ratings are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to note the fact that this facility was superb in our long-term care category. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 83.07692 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning our next area, we awarded this facility a score of A- for its short-term care grade. This is a very strong grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. This topped off a very favorable report card. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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.
