Nurse Quality

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. The nursing rating analyzes a handful of components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages 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 in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its strong resume, this facility also was awarded a dominant long-term care grade, with a score of A. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 95.53072 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the senior population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this nursing home also earned excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last category we graded, this nursing home received a very favorable grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this score, the facility wrapped up a first-rate profile. In forming these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
