Nurse Quality

This facility's nursing score was notably better than its overall score. Due to a strong performance in this area, it earned one of our better scores in nursing with a B+. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was given its second highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Short-term care grades are often employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we scored is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this area. Long-term care grades are based on the nursing home's amount of nursing services. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.81482 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
