Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its short-term care score. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 7.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. The nursing grade is based on numerous factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to the next category, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. We gave it a grade of A in this area. This rounded out a straight A report card.

This facility vaccinated 86.2069 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
