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. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This exemplary facility also excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A+. Very few facilities performed better in this area. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 78.899086 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our next area, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

On top of its other impressive category grades, we gave this facility a B+ for its inspection grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
