Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to point out the fact that this facility was given an impressive grade of A- in our short-term care category. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home received an extremely favorable long-term care grade. While this was not quite as good as many of its other category grades, this remains one of the stronger scores a facility can receive. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 79.91267 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
