Long-term Care Quality

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to offering very impressive levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. This combination proved to be effective as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing scores are largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With under five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category.

This finished off this place's straight A report card. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies.

This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health.
