Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in our short-term care category, where it received a grade of A-. Few facilities fared better in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. 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. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed at a high level in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. A single deficiency isn't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we scored is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 78.16594 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
