Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing category analyzes many components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the highest totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to providing high levels of care, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility in Washington when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Very few nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. In our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This place provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. It fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 55.8 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home was awarded a favorable long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this nursing home's impressive nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Lastly, turning to our inspection category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our inspection rating is based on the facility's government inspection reports. While this is not a bad score, it is this facility's weakest area. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were category J through L deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in immediate harm or jeopardy. In the bigger picture, this inspection report could be much worse.
