Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first-rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding yet another impressive category grade, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A- for our inspections category. Our inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to the deficiency data for this nursing home, it was a challenge to really grade it in terms of this category.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we graded is long-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care, making this the facility's worst category grade. We would nevertheless suggest that you consider all of a facility's category grades. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 84.84849 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
