Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. There are a variety of datapoints within this grade. Most of these datapoints are tied to nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we graded this facility so favorably is that it received a dominant short-term care score. In fact, short-term care is its second most favorable category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities 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 were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best grades. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we scored was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a decent grade of C. This actually ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. Our long-term care grades are pivotal for patients looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.99197 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
