Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall score, this facility received a strong nursing rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that area. Our nursing score is mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.6 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to note the fact that this nursing home received a dominant score of A in our short-term care area. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this facility also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS 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 the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B. While this wound up being its least impressive category grade, this is still a strong rating. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.92929 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
