Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also want to point out that this facility excelled in our nursing score. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. In calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B. Although this ended up being its worst category grade, this is still an above average rating. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 90.47619 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
