Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. There are a number of subcategories included in this area. Most of the criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also received a very strong short-term care score. In fact, this is this facility's second most impressive category score. In that area, this facility received a score of A. Our short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. Our inspection scores are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed was this facility's worst category. Nevertheless, even its worst category would be a strength for most facilities. We gave it a strong grade of B in long-term care. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
