Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care rating, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received a very impressive long-term care grade. This actually ended up being this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 85.03401 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we expected. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In the final category we looked at, we found that this facility received a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from government inspectors. As a result, it earned a decent grade in our inspection category with a B. This nursing home really didn't have any major weaknesses. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
