Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate facility overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed this well in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was awarded a fine short-term care grade. In fact, this is this nursing home's second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A-. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility was given a strong long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a grade of B+. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we analyzed was nursing, in which this facility was given a B. Although this ended up being its weakest category rating, this is nevertheless a favorable rating. Our nursing rating is based on several data points, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
