Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Few places performed as well in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its dominant resume, this facility also performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.619774 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the 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 less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we assessed is short-term care. This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care grade, with a B in the area. Short-term care grades are often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we rated is nursing. In this category, we awarded this facility an above average grade of B. Our nursing score analyzes a handful of components, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
