Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also performed well in long-term care, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.09091 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to our final category, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category. This wrapped up a straight A report card. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
