Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we want to note its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.

This nursing home also earned impressive inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. Inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we rated is long-term care. This facility was given a grade of C for the category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 98.455605 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
