Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is typically a meaningful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. 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. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, 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 received 8 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: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated was long-term care, which is this nursing home's weakest area. It received an F for this category, which is clearly somewhat concerning. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 89.90385 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
