Grade: A-plus

In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. We weighed the licensure of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility also received an A+ short-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to be given more than one A+ category grades. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care score. This actually ended up being its third best category score. In that area, this facility received a score of A-. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Next we looked at inspections. This nursing home earned a very impressive grade in this category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
