Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received an A-. Few facilities fared better in this category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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: B

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. 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 facility performed very well in the area 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

Grade: B

The next category we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. This facility ended up being strong across the board. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 87.66234 percent of its residents, which is slightly less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
