Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall rating, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its top-shelf resume, this nursing home also excelled in our long-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A in that category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93.4375 percent of its residents, which is slightly less than we anticipated. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was strong in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Not many facilities fared better in this category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Switching gears to our fourth category, this nursing home was given an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that category, giving this facility straight A's. When calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident more often.
