Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Short-term care grades are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 8.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also earned an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a facility. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Moving on our next area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care rating. This is a very impressive grade. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided information about vaccinations. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The final category we graded was nursing, where this facility was given an A-. This finished off a very strong profile. Few nursing homes earned an A- or better in each of our categories. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
