Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Compounding its first-rate assessment, this facility also was awarded a superb short-term care grade, with a score of A-. Short-term care grades are crucial for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. We gave it a grade of A- for this area. This rounded out truly elite report card. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 87.28323 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
