Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first-rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received a grade of A+. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also was dominant in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A. Few facilities fared better in this category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.666664 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The last area we looked at is nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of A-. This completed a first-rate report card. Not many nursing homes received an A- or higher in each of our categories. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
