Facility Inspections

In addition to being an elite nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared as well in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Unfortunately, we were not able to find 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

This facility truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Very few facilities performed better in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade 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. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.757576 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. The nursing grade assesses several components, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's worst area was short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. We want to to draw your attention to this potential weakness, however, you should not over-emphasize a single weak area either. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. It appears that this place was below average in two of the key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
