Facility Inspections

We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility has received near flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing 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

In addition, this facility was given quality marks in the area of long-term care. For this reason, it received one of our most impressive grades in that category with a grade of A+. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 86.95652 percent of its patients. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

This first-rate facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating assesses quite a few factors, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to our next category, this nursing home also performed well in the short-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A in that category. This wrapped up truly elite report card. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
