Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. There are numerous criteria within this grade. Many of these datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also gave this nursing home a score of A+ for its short-term care grade. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is generally a useful assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we rated was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually was this facility's worst area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. In crafting these long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's personal care services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
