Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home earned even higher marks in nursing. In fact, we gave it one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A-. The nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this facility a score of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the final area we looked at, we found that this facility earned a solid inspection report this year as well. As a result, it earned a decent score in inspections with a grade of B-. Inspection grades are based on data points located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
