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-. Few facilities performed better in this area. The nursing rating weighs quite a few components, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home truly excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Very few nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is typically a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In addition, this facility earned a very good government inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is a fair grade in this area. Our long-term care grades are pivotal for patients looking for personal care. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 62.608696 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
