Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing ended up being its best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Nursing scores are mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient more frequently.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best grades. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our better grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Short-term care grades are generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 96.94656 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
