Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This is based on the nursing home's inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to our final category, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. We awarded it an A- for this category. This rounded out truly elite profile. Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
