Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.31973 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last area we rated is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B. While this ended up being its worst category rating, this is still an above average rating. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
