Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this proved to be a quality facility is that it received a very impressive short-term care grade. In fact, short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities 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. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.55947 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Finally, we also gave this facility a score of B- for our inspections rating. This nursing home didn't have any glaring weak links. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is what you like to see on an inspection report.
