Grade: A

We also would like to emphasize the fact that this nursing home has received excellent inspections recently. We awarded them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This category is frequently a solid assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.

This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the last area, this nursing home also was awarded a first-rate long-term care grade, with a grade of A-. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.49495 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Finally, 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.
