Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Among the reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it was awarded a dominant long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care is its second most favorable category score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a score of A-. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.611115 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient more often.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we graded was short-term care, where we gave it an above average grade of B. This facility really didn't have any weak spots. Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
