This nursing home received a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing grade. We awarded them a grade of A in this area. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place 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.

Long-term Care Quality

The third category we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home received an impressive long-term care score, with a grade of B in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 96.40288 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

In the last category we assessed, this nursing home received a decent grade in inspections as well. We awarded it a B- for that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
