Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. In determining our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was awarded a dominant grade of A in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we looked at is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B. While this wound up being its worst category grade, this is still an above average rating. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.32314 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
