Long-term Care Quality

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.8764 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home was given a top-shelf grade of A in our short-term care category. Short-term care ratings are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. 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 patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

In the final category, we awarded this facility an A for its nursing grade. This completed a very favorable report card. There are numerous factors within this grade. Most of the factors are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
