Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a strong overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for inspections. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many high-end grades, this facility was awarded a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 96.296295 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility 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 figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

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. Nursing grades are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this facility one of our higher grades in this category, with a grade of B. While this is not as high as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless a positive score. Our short-term care grades are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
