Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a quality overall score, this facility also earned excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our highest grades in that area, with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this is its second most impressive category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A-.

In computing our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 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 place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
In our last area, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its short-term care score. This finished off an elite report card. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
