Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection score. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 5.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is far more care than what is offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received a impressive long-term care grade. This actually ended up being its third strongest category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A-. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 91.666664 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.21 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last area, this facility also was given a very strong short-term care rating, with a B+. This finished off an elite profile. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
