Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Our nursing grade analyzes a handful of subcategories, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home was given an impressive score of A- in our short-term care category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was awarded a impressive long-term care score. This actually ended up being its third most impressive category score. In that category, this facility received a score of A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.15254 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Another impressive feature for this place is its inspection grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A-, finishing off its straight A performance. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
