Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility performed well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of A- for that category. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a fair measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another one of this place's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections proved to be one of its best categories. We gave this facility an B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was given an impressive long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the fourth category, this facility was awarded a grade of B- in nursing, which is generally a respectable rating. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This particular facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We like to look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
