Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is typically used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. Our nursing grade is largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home received a favorable long-term care grade this year, with a B-. Even though this is not quite as dominant as many of its other category grades, this is nevertheless a decent score in this area. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's personal care rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.993286 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
