In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in short-term care. We awarded it a grade of A- for that category. In crafting our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home 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.

This facility's next most favorable category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable statistic. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the final category we assessed, this facility received a good score in inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category. This nursing home didn't have any major weak links. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
