Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. The nursing grade assesses quite a few subcategories, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving residents more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to another one of this place's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility was given a strong short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B+. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home was awarded a decent long-term care grade. While this wasn't nearly as dominant as a few of its other category grades, this is truly not the end of the world. In determining these long-term care scores, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.88476 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
