Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its high-end resume, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for that category. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation with 71.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Lastly, this place was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we looked at, this nursing home was awarded a very favorable grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this score, the facility topped off a very strong report card. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.34146 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.76 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
