In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home earned its third best category score in inspections. Inspection scores are based on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. We gave this nursing home a C in this area. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 10 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We really didn't find anything on this facility's inspection reports to be too alarming.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a C in this category. In the category of long-term care, we look at the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more sophisticated services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable datapoint. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
