Short-term Care Quality

We awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of A+ in the area of short-term care. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an A. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

With places that received this bad of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors.
