Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its best category. In this area, we awarded this nursing home an A. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 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 facility performed very well in the area of 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

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that area, with a score of B+. With our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we graded is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B-. This proved to be this facility's least impressive area. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. In crafting our long-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 61.71875 percent of its residents. This is multiple points lower than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
