Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A for short-term care. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. There are many criteria included in this grade. Most of the criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was given a very good long-term care score in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this is not quite as impressive as a few of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable grade for that area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.67257 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
