Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this facility also received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency data, it was difficult to fully grade this nursing home in the area of inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its fine profile, this nursing home also received a dominant short-term care grade, with a grade of A. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing category is based on several subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the next area, this facility was given a respectable long-term care grade. While this wasn't nearly as good as many of its other category grades, this is really nothing to be ashamed of. With our long-term care rating, we focus on the sheer volume of care offered by a nursing home, along with a handful of qualitative data points. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.62637 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
