Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few places performed as well in this area. Inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also was given a fine short-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second most impressive category score. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we graded is long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home an above average grade of B. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.31035 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
