Short-term Care Quality
A
Historical
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Utah in this area with 61.9 percent of its residents returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
A
Historical
In addition, this nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on its inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best grades. Our inspection scores are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
B+
Historical
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. In calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. At least one fourth of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are skilled nurses. This is a high ratio of skilled nursing. In calculating our nursing scores, we apply more weight to hours provided by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The final area we scored is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously somewhat concerning. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.64 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
