Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Our nursing rating is largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was given a high-end short-term care score. In fact, this is its third most impressive category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. In our short-term care rating, we try to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities 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 final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final area, this nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade, with a B+. This wrapped up a first-rate report card. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
