Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility one of our better grades in short-term care, where it received a grade of A+. This is far better than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 73.3 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. The nursing grade assesses many factors, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Roughly one quarter of that care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. Both of these statistics easily beat out the national average. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents sustaining falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home in the nation. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, this facility really didn't perform well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this was its worst category grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of providing above average levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. These marks were obviously more favorable than some of its other data points in the category. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
