Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a favorable overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for inspections. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.8 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 frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a patient more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Not many facilities received a better grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In our last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its long-term care rating. This topped off a first-rate profile. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.028984 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
