Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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 awarded this facility a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.9011 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also gave this nursing home a of A+ for its short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are often employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In the final area, this nursing home also was given an impressive nursing grade, with a grade of A. This rounded out a very strong report card. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. 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 nursing home 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 generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
