Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent 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
Contributing to its fine assessment, this facility also received a dominant long-term care score, with a grade of A. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.27 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility the state when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable short-term care grade. Even though this isn't quite as elite as many of its other category grades, this is still not the end of the world. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 37.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
