Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to earning a great overall grade, this facility also received an excellent nursing rating, with an A. We analyzed the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this facility also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 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: A-minus

This nursing home also performed well in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Very few facilities received a better grade in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.78882 percent of its residents. This is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we graded is short-term care, in which this nursing home received a B. This actually proved to be this facility's weakest area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their weakest score still is better than most other facilities. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 3.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
