Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for short-term care. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing rating includes many datapoints, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Illinois in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving residents at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 78.71397 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
