Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. Our nursing category assesses many datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was elite in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A. Very few facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility also earned excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best grades in that category, with an A. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we scored is this nursing home's poorest category. However, even its lowest point would be a highlight for most facilities. We awarded it a favorable grade of B in long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.37888 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
