Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility received a first-rate nursing score. We gave it an A in that category. There are a host of factors within this category. Most of these datapoints are tied to nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility has received near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Building on its strong resume, this facility also was given a strong short-term care grade, with a grade of A. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. Nevertheless, you should not judge this facility solely on one weak area, as it was awarded some superb grades in other categories. With our long-term care grade, we focus on the quantity of services offered by a nursing home, as well as a handful of quality data points. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
