Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A. Our short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received high grades in the area of nursing as well. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. The nursing category consists of quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. Sadly, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 96.55173 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
