Nurse Quality

We also wanted to point out that this facility excelled in our nursing grade. We gave them an A+ in this category. The nursing score weighs quite a few datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was elite in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Only a select group of facilities received a better grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we analyzed ended up being this nursing home's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a respectable grade of B- in our long-term care category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinates 97.068405 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
