Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize that this nursing home has received near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Compounding its dominant achievements in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. It fared as well as just about any nursing home in the nation in this area with 70.9 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing rating includes quite a few subcategories, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we assessed was this nursing home's worst category. Nevertheless, even its lowest point would actually be a highlight for most facilities. We gave it a strong grade of B for long-term care. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 72.75542 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Fortunately, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 1.97 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most facilities due to it having some more complicated patients.
