Short-term Care Quality

To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A for our short-term care rating. In our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 62.908012 percent of its residents. This is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

In the final category, we gave this facility a B+ for our nursing grade. This topped off a very favorable profile. The nursing rating weighs quite a few components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
