Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing rating includes numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home New York in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the final category, this nursing home also received a first-rate long-term care rating, with a B+. This rounded out a very favorable profile. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 78.62595 percent of its patients for pneumonia. 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 less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
