Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 7.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. There are a number of factors included in this grade. Most of the datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we looked at, this facility was awarded a very strong grade of A in our long-term care category. With this score, the facility rounded out a straight A report card. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down this facility's vaccination rates. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
