Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it received a very impressive short-term care score. In fact, short-term care is its best category. In that category, we gave this facility an A-. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is typically a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

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. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our final category, this nursing home was awarded a C for long-term care, which is an acceptable score. Long-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 65.625 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
