Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled at short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Short-term care ratings are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home has earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category.

Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies.

This nursing home 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 avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the final category we rated, this facility was awarded an impressive grade grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this score, the nursing home wrapped up a very impressive profile. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.54386 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
