Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility excelled in our nursing category. We gave it an A for that category. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many dominant scores, this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is more often than not a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also wanted to point out this nursing home's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility received a favorable nursing grade this year, with a grade of B. While this wasn't nearly as strong as many of its other grades, this is still one of our stronger grades for this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.57143 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
