Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of providing elite levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.61 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare places to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the nursing home's government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.3 hours per resident each day. This is more nursing care than nearly any other facility offers. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Alabama in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home was given a very strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this category, giving this facility straight A's. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. This facility performed much better in the final datapoint we assessed in this category, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place performed as well as just about any nursing home in Alabama in this area with 56.6 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
