Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing grades are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection scores are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its third highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is generally a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our last area, this facility was given an acceptable long-term care grade of C. In calculating our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care offered to the nursing home's residents. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
