Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home also received an A+ in short-term care. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A+. The nursing grade considers many factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our more favorable grades in this area, with a B. While this wasn't as dominant as a few of this nursing home's other scores, it is nevertheless a perfectly acceptable grade. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.39639 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
