Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. 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. 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 rating is primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

The third area we analyzed is long-term care. Adding to its high-end resume, this facility also performed well in that category. In fact, it received a grade of of A for the area. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 73.21429 percent of its residents. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home also performed admirably in the short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this area. This topped off a first-rate report card. Our short-term care scores are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
