Short-term Care Quality

On top of earning a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this facility also earned excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. The nursing grade weighs many factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the last area, this facility really didn't fare very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in that area, this is clearly this facility's weakest grade. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
