Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A-. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is frequently a solid assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This facility vaccinated 69.92481 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we expected but still a respectable figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

There are a number of subcategories within this grade. Most of the factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
