Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also fared very well in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Only a select group of facilities fared better in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 97.8022 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning our next category, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- for its short-term care score. This is a very strong rating. In our short-term care grade, we strive to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In our final area, this facility also was given a first-rate nursing score, with a grade of A-. This completed a rare straight A report card. We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient even once per day.
