Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we graded, this nursing home received a very favorable grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home completed a straight A profile. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
