Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a very strong nursing score. This turned out to be its best category. In this category, we awarded this facility an A. Nursing scores are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's impressive resume, we gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third area we assessed is long-term care. This facility was given a very positive long-term care score, with a grade of B+ in the category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we analyzed was short-term care, in which this facility was given a B. Even though this wound up being its lowest category rating, this is still a strong grade. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
