Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received an A-. There are quite a few subcategories within this category. Most of the criteria reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the facility's government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 2 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 also was given an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this category. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed is long-term care. We gave this facility one of our higher grades in this area, with a B. This nursing home turned out to be very solid in each area we assessed. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 83.2853 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
