Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving an elite overall score, this nursing home received an A+ inspection grade. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a nursing home. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to note the fact that this facility was given a first-rate grade of A- in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 71.64634 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next category we graded ended up being this facility's worst category. Nevertheless, even its lowest point would be a highlight for most facilities. We gave it an above average grade of B for our nursing category. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 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 nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents even once per day.
