Facility Inspections

On top of being an elite facility overall, this nursing home performed well in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital.

This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.
