Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home excelled in our nursing rating. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. When computing our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Places that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ for its long-term care grade. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.333336 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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 number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In the last category, this nursing home also received an A+ for its short-term care score, wrapping up an amazing profile of A+'s in each of our categories. In forming our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
