Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing score. We awarded them an A- in this area. There are a number of subcategories within this category. Many of these factors are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its government inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to the next category, this nursing home also received a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.242424 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next category is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a grade of B- in that category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
