Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we wanted to note its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Our short-term care grades are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. It received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed this well in multiple categories. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. In determining our long-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 95.06726 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated is nursing. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is a fair grade in this category. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider some quality-focused measures. We look at the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these issues.
