Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this very important area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a dominant grade of A- in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.97436 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to alert you to the fact that this facility was given a top-shelf grade of A- in our short-term care area. Our short-term care ratings are likely more critical for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for our nursing rating. This rounded out a very impressive profile. Our nursing rating includes numerous data points. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 Connecticut in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving residents at least once a day.
