Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating. We gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. This really boosted its profile. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the fourth area, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care score of C. In calculating our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care received by a nursing home's patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.373985 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
