Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an B+. The nursing grade includes many datapoints, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home 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 often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Adding to its strong resume, this facility earned a grade of B for its inspections rating. This is a well above average score in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. This really is one of the couple of weak links in an otherwise strong profile. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.04306 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
