Facility Inspections

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly perfect. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf score of A- in our long-term care category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our stronger grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home also excelled in the nursing category. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in this category. This rounded out a very impressive profile. The nursing rating assesses several components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident more frequently.
