Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also performed at a high level in the area of inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 97.65258 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was given an acceptable nursing grade of C. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.
