Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A- in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent government inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. There are many datapoints included in this grade. Many of the criteria relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home performed very well when it comes to 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

The next area we rated was long-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of C in the category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.57627 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also 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.
