Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home performed well in our nursing category. We gave it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing grade includes a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning patients more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this nursing home was inspections, where it earned a B in that category. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home was given a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Moving on to our last category, this nursing home received a highly favorable long-term care grade. This nursing home didn't end up having any noticeable weaknesses. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 91.27273 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
