Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home truly excelled in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

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 facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was nursing, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. This was one of the few dings in an otherwise strong report card. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
