Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections recently. Its inspections are nearly perfect. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an A+. When determining our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning residents more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.55173 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Switching gears to our last area, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A- in this category. This wrapped up truly elite profile. Short-term care scores are vital for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
