The Bartlett Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without having deficiency data, it was a challenge to fully assess this nursing home in this category.

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. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

In addition, this facility also was given favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. With our short-term care rating, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

The final category we rated was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. While this was not as dominant as some of its other grades, it is still an excellent score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on vaccination rates. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
