Nurse Quality

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home excelled in our nursing category. We gave them an A+ in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Contributing to its strong profile, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we graded is long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B. Believe it or not, this proved to be this facility's weakest area. A nursing home is doing something right when it's lowest score still is better than most facilities. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 96.11651 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
