Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled at short-term care, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It does not look like we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having access to the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it was difficult to fully assess the place in the inspections category.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received an elite grade of A- in our long-term care area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.4375 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our final area, we awarded this nursing home a A for its nursing score. This finished off a very favorable profile. Our nursing score is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
