Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned an impressive grade of A for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive category scores, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated is long-term care. This facility was given an impressive long-term care score this year, with a B-. While this isn't nearly as good as some of its other category grades, this is nevertheless a decent rating in this category. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 91.036415 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
