Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing actually turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. There are several criteria included in this category. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in inspections. It received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A-. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we rated was long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a very solid grade of B. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 82.12291 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
