Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well overall, this facility received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also was awarded a high-end short-term care grade. We gave them a dominant strong of A- in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we graded is long-term care, in which this facility received a C. This actually is this facility's least impressive area. This is still not a poor grade. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.57995 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
