Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Grade: A

Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale.

We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we analyzed was long-term care. In this area, we awarded this facility a favorable grade of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.765434 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.
