Facility Inspections

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that area with an A+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.40476 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to the next category, this facility also performed admirably in our short-term care category. We gave it a grade of A- for that area. This completed a straight A profile. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
