This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Grade: A-minus

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 nursing home 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In our final area, this facility also was awarded a first-rate short-term care grade, with an A-. This finished off a very strong report card. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
