Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.42857 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are many factors within this category. Many of these datapoints reflect staffing levels. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we scored was short-term care. We gave this facility a solid grade in this category, with a grade of B-. Even though this is not as strong as a few of this facility's other grades, it is still not a terrible score. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
