Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a great facility overall, it also received A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly flawless. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also gave this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care grade. Short-term care ratings are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our rating in this category. 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 facility 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home was awarded an extremely favorable long-term care rating. We awarded it an A- in that area, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.48866 percent of its patients, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
