Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing score weighs several subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is this nursing home's weakest category. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for our long-term care category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 98.42519 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
