Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having access to complete deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being a challenge to really evaluate it in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its top-shelf profile, this facility also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for the category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Nursing scores are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' 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

The last category we rated was long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a B. While this was not as strong as many of this nursing home's other grades, it is still a positive score. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.98851 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
