Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A in this area. Short-term care grades are often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. 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 this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility fared well in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A for that category, which is one of our most elite scores. 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. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

In the last category of government inspections, we gave this facility a C for this category. Our inspection grades are based on many data points located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This means this facility dodged the more significant classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
