Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home excelled in our short-term care category, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. In determining a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages 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. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home earned a very good government inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our long-term care category, rendering this the nursing home's weakest category grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.90643 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
