Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant grades, this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 73.926384 percent of its patients, which is a few points less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes 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. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
