Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its strong profile, this facility also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, it received a grade of A in the category. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is frequently a fair measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the next category, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.888885 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last area, we gave this facility a A+ for its nursing score. This wrapped up a very favorable profile. Our nursing score considers a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.
