Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. It does not appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without the deficiency data for this nursing home, it ended up being difficult to really grade the place in terms of this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Moving on our next area, we gave this facility a score of A for its short-term care grade. This is a superb grade. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was awarded an extremely favorable long-term care score. Although this is not as strong as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless one of the stronger scores a facility can receive. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 77.99043 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
