Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a strong short-term care score. In that category, we gave this facility an A. Short-term care grades are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In the final category we assessed, this nursing home received a very strong grade of A in our long-term care category. With this grade, the facility topped off a straight A report card. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.83562 percent of its residents. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
