Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this facility also excelled at short-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also wanted to point out this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of B+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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: C

Turning to the next category, this nursing home was awarded a decent long-term care score. Although this wasn't nearly as dominant as several of its other grades, this is really not a terrible score. In our long-term care grade, we focus more on the sheer quantity of services offered by a facility, along with some qualitative statistics. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.52239 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
