Short-term Care Quality
On top of performing well overall, this nursing home received even higher grades in our short-term care rating. It earned one of our highest scores in that area with A-. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This place fared better than most facilities in the nation in this area with 52.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls leading to serious injury, this nursing home performed better than the national average.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an impressive grade of B+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that category. This is a decent grade in this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the data points we considered on top of this nursing home's very solid nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.54442 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.53 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
