Short-term Care Quality

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled at short-term care, where it received an A. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This facility received high grades in the area of nursing as well. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A.

Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we graded was long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat disappointing. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 96.875 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
