Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of earning a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an elite nursing rating. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. Without having information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it ended up being challenging to assess it in terms of this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another strength for this facility, we gave them one of our higher grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. Our short-term care grade is often used to assess a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B. This facility did not turn out to have any identifiable weaknesses. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 84.29319 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
