Short-term Care Quality

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number 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.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. There are a host of subcategories included in this area. Most of these factors are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area.

Facility Inspections

Finally, we also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a B+ in this category.

Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive.
