Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.1 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. Nursing grades are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident more frequently.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility has earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our last area, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for this category. This finalized a first-rate report card. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 97.92285 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
