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 analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its superb profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for that area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs 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 nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this nursing home also received excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we rated was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a strong grade of B. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
