Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. We analyzed the levels of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this area. 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To complement its high-end achievements in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received a nearly flawless government inspection report. It earned one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home received a high-end long-term care grade. Even though this wasn't as impressive as several of its other category grades, this is still one of the better scores we offer. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.02597 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
