Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also found that this facility excelled at short-term care. We awarded them an elite grade of A+ in this category. In our short-term care score, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This score is based on the facility's government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a facility. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. The nursing grade weighs many components, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B. Even though this ended up being its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless a strong grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.64029 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. 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 less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
