Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned excellent health inspections recently. We awarded it one of our best scores in that area, with a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. The nursing score includes many subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Building on its first-rate profile, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care score, with a score of A-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to the next category, this facility was given a high-end long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this area, topping off one of our finer profiles. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.14893 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
