Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an A+ short-term care grade.

In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency data for this facility, it was a challenge to fully assess the place in this area.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The fourth category we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B+. This rounded out an elite report card. Few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in in each area we assessed. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.799995 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
