Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. The nursing score is based on a handful of factors, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a patient more frequently.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Short-term care grades are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility 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. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Of course, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.30769 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
