Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly flawless. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received a superb grade of A- in our short-term care category. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning our third area, this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, it received a score of A- in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.23943 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we scored proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. Nevertheless, even its worst category would actually be a highlight for many facilities. We gave it an above average grade of B in our nursing category. Our nursing score weighs a handful of data points, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
