Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great facility is that it received a very impressive short-term care score. This proved to be its best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it a grade of A for that category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last area we rated is long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B. While this is its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless a good rating. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.25094 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
