Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's inspection rating also was quite a bit better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded is long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that area. In the category of long-term care, we analyze the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 91.489365 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
