Nurse Quality

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Adding to its first-rate resume, this facility also received a dominant short-term care score, with a grade of A. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

In the final category we analyzed, this facility received an impressive grade grade of A- in our long-term care category. With this grade, the facility finished off a straight A profile. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 80.821915 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
