The Bradley Gardens

This nursing home earned a favorable short-term care rating this year. We gave them a strong grade in that area, with a B+. This is a better grade than the facility's overall score and was a boost to its overall profile. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we awarded this nursing home an B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next area we graded is long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D for our long-term care category, rendering this the nursing home's least impressive area. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 97.70992 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
