Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an impressive nursing rating. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 80.39216 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we expected. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we assessed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a strong nursing rating in our assessment, with a grade of B. Even though this isn't quite as strong as several of its other grades, this remains one of the more favorable grades for that category. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
