Twilight Haven

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care scores are likely more meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an B+. In computing our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home earned a very good government inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it earned one of our higher grades in that area with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

The last category we assessed was long-term care. This facility was given a C in the category. Our long-term care scores are based on a facility's amount of care. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 96.478874 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
