Facility Inspections

On top of faring well overall, this facility earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A+. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Among the reasons we rated this facility so favorably is that it was given a dominant long-term care score. In fact, long-term care is its second most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our better grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
