Nurse Quality
On top of earning a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an excellent nursing rating, with an A. We assessed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This place boasts a really impressive 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day, of which a significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we were able to find. On top of providing high levels of care, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With under five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by offering better nursing care and a system of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be its second strongest category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 52.9 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
We gave this facility a score of A- for inspections. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B. Believe it or not, this is this facility's least impressive category. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their lowest score still is superior to most other nursing homes. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the very impressive nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.9 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as favorable as some of its other scores in this area, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
