Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. With our short-term care rating, we seek to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this area. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility was awarded a strong long-term care rating. We awarded it an A- in this category, rounding out a straight A profile. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
