Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we wanted to note its excellent short-term care grade. We gave them an A in this category. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on its inspections. In fact, we awarded it an B+ for that area, which is one of our best grades. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.
