Nurse Quality
In addition to performing well in its overall score, this nursing home received even higher marks in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few components, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this facility an A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
