Facility Inspections

Grade: A

With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this facility performed well in inspections, where it received a grade of A. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Our nursing grade includes a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The third area we looked at is long-term care. Adding to its superb resume, this nursing home also performed well in that category. In fact, we awarded it a of A- for that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.29214 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded an above average nursing rating in our assessment, with a B. Even though this was not nearly as elite as several of its other grades, this remains one of our stronger scores for that area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is considered to be a meaningful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
