Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility was given dominant marks in the area of short-term care. Consequently, it received one of our most impressive scores in that category with a grade of A+. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is typically a useful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was given a favorable long-term care grade in our assessment, with a B-. Although this was not quite as dominant as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable rating for that category. In computing our long-term care grades, we size up the assistance with daily living received by a nursing home's residents. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 76.28866 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
