Facility Inspections

In addition to being an elite facility overall, this nursing home also performed well in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Few places performed this well in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without deficiency related data for this facility, it ended up being difficult to really grade it in the area of inspections.

Nurse Quality

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also received an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we looked at is short-term care. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that area, with a grade of B-. Although this isn't as strong as several of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
