Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this facility an A for inspections. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was given a strong score of A in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.42519 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In our last area, this facility also was awarded a first-rate short-term care rating, with an A-. This topped off an elite profile. Short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
