Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is often used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Grade: A
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing score is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 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 nursing home 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.22641 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Grade: B
Finally, we found that this nursing home has earned favorable government inspections in recent years. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
