Short-term Care Quality
We want to note that this nursing home earned a much better grade for short-term care than its overall score. It received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Short-term care scores are crucial for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. 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. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received an impressive grade of B+ in nursing. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. This really is one of the few dings in a strong report card. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
