Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection rating. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.6 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This was one of the highest figures we found. Furthermore, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With under five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any place the country in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning the page to our next area, we awarded this facility a score of A- for its short-term care grade. This is a very impressive grade. Our short-term care ratings are probably more meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This facility is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The final category we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of A-. This rounded out a very impressive report card. Only a select few nursing homes received an A- or better in all four categories. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other data points in this category, such as its nursing hours. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.666664 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement in this area next year. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.26 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
