Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ in short-term care. This is as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We gave this facility an A- for inspections. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility received a B-. Even though this ended up being its least impressive category grade, this is still not a terrible score. In the category of long-term care, we analyze the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.349724 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
