Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home 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 nation 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 having a protocol of moving residents even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was given a strong score of A in our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed was short-term care. We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B. While this isn't on par with several of its other scores, it is still a fine score. Our short-term care grades are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 3.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
