Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms 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-plus

This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

The third category we assessed is long-term care. Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also excelled in this category. In fact, we awarded it a of A in that area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 95.87629 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Switching gears to our next category, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in this category. This wrapped up a straight A report card. Short-term care grades are critical for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
