Nurse Quality

In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. In computing a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility received high marks in the area of short-term care. For this reason, it received one of our most impressive grades in that area with a score of A+. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a very good long-term care grade this year, with a grade of B-. While this is not nearly as good as several of its other grades, this remains an acceptable rating for that area. Long-term care grades are meaningful for residents seeking personal care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
