Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize that this facility earned near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having deficiency related data, it is challenging to really grade this nursing home in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

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 is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility was awarded a strong short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Our short-term care grades are presumably more critical for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 3.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we scored is long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. While this was not as favorable as a few of its other scores, it is nevertheless an excellent grade. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
