Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a dominant grade of A- in our short-term care category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The third area we assessed is long-term care. Adding to its elite profile, this nursing home also performed well in that area. In fact, we gave it a of A- in the area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 63.40694 percent of its patients, which is a bit less than we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed was nursing. In that category, we awarded this facility an above average grade of B. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
