Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A-. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms 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: B

In addition, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the senior population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is short-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in short-term care. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
