Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall score, this nursing home also received an elite short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. This turned out to be one of its best grades. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. You shouldn't necessarily disregard a facility because of one concerning category though. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 97.10145 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: D
