Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home performed well in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Few places fared this well in this category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

An additional reason we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it received an A+ long-term care score. This is just about as dominant as it gets in this area. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was dominant in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our short-term care scores are critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In the final category we assessed, this facility was given a very favorable grade of A in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility wrapped up a straight A report card. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
