Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Inspection scores are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last category we looked at, this facility was awarded an impressive grade grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this grade, the facility finished off a very impressive profile. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 77.94118 percent of its residents. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
