Grade: A

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has received nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A-minus

We also want to note the fact that this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf grade of A- in our long-term care category.

This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 63.838387 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we assessed is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B. Even though this is not as strong as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless an excellent score. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
