Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. Our nursing grade weighs several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. This turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. Our long-term care grades are more critical for individuals needing more traditional assistance associated with personal care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 84.549355 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than average. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
