Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a strong short-term care grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care scores are likely most meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

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+. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we graded is long-term care, in which this facility received a grade of B. This actually is this nursing home's least impressive category. A facility could be doing a lot worse when it's worst grade still rates higher than most nursing homes. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
