Nurse Quality

This particular nursing home provided 5.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the more impressive totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to providing impressive levels of nursing care, this facility was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.

While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In our last area, this nursing home also received a very strong short-term care grade, with a grade of B+. This wrapped up an elite report card. Short-term care grades are commonly used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. It performed respectably with 45.3 percent of its patients returning home.
