Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home received high marks in our short-term care category as well. As a result, it received our highest score in that category with an A+. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing grade assesses several factors, however, the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is long-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home an D. We would like to to draw your attention to this potential weak spot, however, you shouldn't over-emphasize one area either. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.375 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
