Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to note its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an A in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

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. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we assessed is long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a B. This nursing home did not prove to have any noticeable weaknesses. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 87.21227 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
