Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was given a first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, this is this nursing home's second best category grade. In that category, this facility received a score of A. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the next area, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we looked at is nursing. This nursing home was awarded a strong nursing rating this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this is not as dominant as several of its other category grades, this is still a respectable score for that category. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.
