Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received an elite short-term care grade. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A. In computing these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 11 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. The nursing grade analyzes quite a few factors, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a better than average long-term care grade in our assessment, with a grade of B. This nursing home really did not have any weaknesses. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.30872 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
