Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in nursing, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was awarded a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this ended up being this facility's second strongest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B-. This turned out to be this facility's worst area. This is still not the end of the world. Long-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's amount of nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 83.66013 percent of its residents. This is several points less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
