Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Our nursing rating is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Moving on our next area, we awarded this facility a score of A for its long-term care score. This is a very strong score. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 80.45977 percent of its patients against pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The final area we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of A-. This finished off a very strong report card. Few nursing homes received an A- or higher in every single category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational 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 information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
