Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being an elite nursing home overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Very few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to its top-shelf resume, this facility also performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A- for that category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 73.23943 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was awarded an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next category we looked at was nursing. We gave this facility one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of B. Although this is not as dominant as some of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless a positive grade. The nursing grade includes quite a few factors, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
