Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an elite nursing grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. Our nursing rating consists of several subcategories, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. In our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility earned a B for its inspections score. This is an above average grade in this area. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last area we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B. This facility ended up being strong in each area we assessed. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 97.82609 percent of its patients, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
