Nurse Quality

Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home was also above average in several of the major quality measures we assessed in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 91.946304 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.32 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a grade of B. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 35.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the final category we assessed, this nursing home earned a decent grade in inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
