Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a strong short-term care score. In fact, this proved to be its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they 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 nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing score is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on our next category, we gave this nursing home a score of A- for its long-term care grade. This is a dominant rating. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.0456 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category. This completed this place's straight A report card. Our inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
