Long-term Care Quality

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 97.59036 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing.

Facility Inspections

Amazingly, we also awarded this nursing home yet another A+ in the area of inspections. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

In the final area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care rating. This topped off a very favorable profile. Short-term care grades are generally used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
