Short-term Care Quality

On top of performing well overall, this facility received even higher grades for short-term care. It received one of our highest grades in that area with a score of A. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we graded is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a B-. Although this wound up being its worst category score, this is still not a terrible score. In a long-term care environment, the 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. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.56863 percent of its residents. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
