Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities received a better grade in this area. Short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home.

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. When calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

In the last area, we gave this facility an A+ for its long-term care rating. This finished off a very favorable profile. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
