Facility Inspections
On top of being a top notch nursing home overall, this place also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was strong in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Very few nursing homes fared better in this category. With our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a C. While this wound up being its least impressive category grade, this is still a middle of the pack score. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility gave the vaccine to only 88.88889 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
