Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong facility overall, it also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections are virtually flawless. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so favorably is that it was given a dominant short-term care score. Indeed, short-term care turned out to be its second best category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Short-term care grades are often employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home was awarded an impressive long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst area is nursing, which is the final area we looked at. In this area, we gave this facility a D. We wanted to draw your attention to this potential weak link, however, you shouldn't focus exclusively on one bad category either. Our nursing grade analyzes many components, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
