Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
To go along with a strong overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for inspections. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
In addition, this facility received high marks in the category of long-term care. Consequently, it received one of our best scores in that category with a score of A+. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 92.22222 percent of its patients. This is slightly less than we expected but still a decent figure. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning residents even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
In the last category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our short-term care grade. This topped off a first-rate profile. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
