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 score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. With our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of B- for the category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.479164 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
