Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A- for that category. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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-plus

In addition, this facility also was given favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.4212 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we analyzed is nursing, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. This actually was this facility's worst category. This is nevertheless not a poor grade. The nursing score weighs a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
