Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this very important area. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was elite in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.9798 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last area, we gave this facility a A+ for its nursing score. This wrapped up an elite profile. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This nursing home fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented with better nursing care.
