Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing score is based on a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding 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-minus

This nursing home was given strong grades in the area of long-term care as well. In fact, we gave it one of our most dominant scores in that category with a score of A-. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to our last category, this facility was awarded a high-end short-term care grade. This facility did not prove to have any weak links. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
