Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility also excelled at short-term care, where it received an A. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive category grades, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 80.0578 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we assessed proved to be this nursing home's poorest area. Nevertheless, even its weakest link would likely be a strength for most facilities. In fact, we gave it a strong grade of B in our nursing category. There are several data points within this area. Many of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
