Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A+ for its short-term care score. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most important for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Even though this isn't quite as elite as many of its other scores, this is nevertheless a respectable grade in that category. Our long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's volume of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.773 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
