Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We gave them an A- in this category. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also performed well in inspections. It received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. Few nursing homes with an overall score in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few factors, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a B+ in this area. This topped off a very strong profile. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.520386 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
