Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it excelled in inspections, with a B in that category. It performed better than most facilities in this category. Inspection scores are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we scored is long-term care. We gave this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a B-. While this isn't as strong as a few of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless not a major area of concern. In determining our long-term care scores, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.68786 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
