To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. 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 information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. When computing our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. 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.

The third highest area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Long-term care scores are essential for individuals needing personal care. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 78.69565 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
In the last category we assessed, this facility earned a good score in inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category. This nursing home didn't have any major weak links. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
