Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A for our short-term care grade. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we scored is long-term care. For that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we assess the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.36842 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
