Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also received an elite short-term care grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this nursing home received top notch health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having the deficiency data for this facility, it is a challenge to really grade it in terms of this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing score weighs many datapoints, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.349396 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps 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 number.
