Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility received an excellent long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.1409 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its top-shelf profile, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- for that category. Our short-term care scores are presumably more important for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Tallying yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We weren't able to track down deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed was nursing. This nursing home was awarded an above average nursing score this year, with a B. Although this was not nearly as elite as several of its other scores, this is nevertheless one of our more favorable grades in that area. There are many data points within this area. Most of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
