Short-term Care Quality

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Nursing scores are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 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 nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home also received first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we assessed is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's least impressive category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective 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. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.773 percent of its residents. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
