Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in our nursing category. We awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place 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 frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We gave it an A- for that area, which is one of our best grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our higher scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we rated was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a solid grade in that area, with a B-. Even though this wasn't as high as several of this facility's other scores, it is still not a major area of concern. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 2.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
