Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care score. We gave them an A- in this area. In forming our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.4709 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility received a very good government inspection report this year as well. It earned one of our higher grades in that category with a grade of B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. We were not able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the last area, this nursing home received a decent nursing grade of C. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
