Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. The nursing grade includes numerous factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 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 place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Very few nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 89.90826 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Finally, we also found that this facility has received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it a B- in this area. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
