To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care rating. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

In addition, this nursing home also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on its inspections. We gave it an B+ for that area, which is one of our top grades. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing rating is based on many datapoints, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The last area we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B+. This finished off a very impressive report card. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or higher in each of our categories. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
