Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. 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

This facility also was given an A+ long-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to be awarded multiple A+ category scores. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.28261 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Turning the page to our next category, this facility received a top-shelf short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in that area. In our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the final category we assessed, this nursing home was given a very strong grade of A- in our nursing category. With this score, the facility rounded out a straight A profile. The nursing category consists of a handful of data points, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
