Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it an A for that area. There are numerous criteria included in this area. Many of the datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded a first-rate score of A in our long-term care area. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received top notch inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of B+. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final area, we gave this nursing home an B+ for our short-term care grade. This finished off a first-rate report card. Our short-term care grades are important for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
