Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is it received a very impressive short-term care score. Short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of A-. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the next category, this facility was given a respectable long-term care score of C. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care instead of the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
