Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Our nursing score includes many datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 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 nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident more often.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was elite in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Very few nursing homes performed better in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

In the last category we analyzed, this nursing home was awarded a very strong grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this score, the facility rounded out a straight A report card. Short-term care scores are meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
