Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for inspections. Our inspection scores are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Only a select group of facilities received a better grade in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Turning to our next area, this facility was given an excellent nursing rating. While this isn't as strong as several of its other grades, this remains one of our better scores we offer. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
