Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a great overall rating, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We awarded it an A- for this category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other accomplishments is its first-rate long-term care score. It received one of our most favorable scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.522385 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we graded was nursing, where we awarded it an above average grade of B. This nursing home truly didn't have any weak links. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving residents more often.
