Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. Few facilities fared better in this area. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few datapoints, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we rated this facility so favorably is that it received a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, short-term care ended up being its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In addition, this nursing home earned a very good inspection report this year as well. It received one of our higher grades in that area with a B. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we looked at was long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B. This nursing home ended up being relatively strong across the board. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
