Nurse Quality

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we rated is short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a B-. This actually turned out to be this facility's worst category. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on 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 residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
