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 score. Our short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility an A+. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this facility also received a nearly flawless inspection report. It earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 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: B-plus

The final area we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B+. This topped off a very impressive report card. Only a select few facilities received a B+ or better in each of our categories. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.64789 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
