Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having the deficiency data for this facility, it ended up being a challenge to fully evaluate the place in the inspections category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so well is that it was given a dominant short-term care grade. In fact, short-term care is its second most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing rating assesses quite a few components, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.4 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 facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is long-term care. We gave this facility a decent grade in that area, with a grade of C. Even though this wasn't as favorable as many of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 62.068966 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
