Historical

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. The nursing score assesses many components, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 5.3 hours per resident daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home offers. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls which lead to major injury, this nursing home performed as well as any nursing home in the country.

This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. We gave it an A- for that category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Historical

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 category. Our short-term care ratings are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Historical

The next category we rated is long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that category. Our long-term care grades are essential for individuals needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. On top of providing above average levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.61017 percent of its patients. This figure is better than the majority of nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
