Short-term Care Quality

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was awarded a high-end long-term care grade. While this isn't nearly as good as several of its other scores, this is still one of our more favorable grades a facility can receive. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.411766 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
