Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home received an A+ in the category of short-term care. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to another of this facility's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection rating. This proved to be one of its best grades. In that area, we gave this facility an impressive grade of B+. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area typically have very few severe 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 in this important metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored was long-term care. We gave this facility an acceptable grade in this area, with a grade of B-. Although this isn't as favorable as a few of this facility's other scores, it is still not a poor grade. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down this facility's vaccination rates. Finally, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
