Grade: A-plus

We also want to note that this facility excelled in our nursing category. We gave them an A+ in this category. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.5 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 when it comes to minimizing its residents' 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 top-shelf nursing home also dominated in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A+. Very few facilities fared better in this area. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.47059 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

Amazingly, we also awarded this nursing home yet another A+ in the area of inspections. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In the last category we assessed, this facility was given a very favorable grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home completed a straight A report card. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
