To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A. In determining our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. 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 facility 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 avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Racking up yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an A-. Our inspection scores are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Moving on to our last category, this facility also excelled in our long-term care category. We gave it a grade of B+ for that category. This completed a very strong report card. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 95.27027 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
