Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home excelled in inspections, where it received an A. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was elite in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Very few facilities fared better in this area. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B. Although this isn't as high as several of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless a fine grade. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 97.333336 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
