Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home excelled in our nursing rating. We gave them an A+ in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. Short-term care ratings are important for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Building on its strong resume, this nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care score, with a score of A. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.49749 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the final category we assessed, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a B+. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
