Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home 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 highest complements we can offer a facility. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded strong marks in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most favorable grades in that category with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered after this nursing home's impressive nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for seniors. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing grade features a host of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.1 hours per resident per day. This is well above average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in most of these datapoints, with good marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care, in which this facility received a C. Although this proved to be its lowest category score, this is still not a terrible score. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This place performed respectably in this area with 45.5 percent of its residents returning home.
