Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive grades, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we looked at was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we analyzed was long-term care. For that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 64.259254 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than the national average. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
