Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for its short-term care rating. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility 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 assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing score is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also earned top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with an impressive grade of B+. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded was long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Nevertheless, you shouldn't judge this facility based solely on a single area, as it had some high-end grades in other areas. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.08257 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
