Transitional Sub-Acute Unit

On top of receiving an elite overall score, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection score. This grade is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having all of the information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it ended up being challenging to fully evaluate the place in this area.

This nursing home also was given an A+ for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 7.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. There are many factors within this grade. Most of the subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place 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.

Moving on to our last area, this facility was given a very strong long-term care grade. We gave it a B+ in this area, topping off one of our better report cards. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. It doesn't look like this facility provided information about vaccinations. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
