Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed this well in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it was given an A+ long-term care grade. This is flat out as dominant as it gets in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.4898 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Only a select few facilities earned an A- or higher in each of our categories. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is generally a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
