Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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

On the list of its many dominant grades, this nursing home was given a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, it received a grade of A- in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.

Nurse Quality

The last area we graded was nursing. In that category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of B-. This ended up being this facility's worst category. The nursing rating includes many factors, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.
