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.

Facility Inspections

We also want to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that 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. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing grade includes numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we analyzed ended up being this facility's worst area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of C in long-term care. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.41003 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its patients 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.
