Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility earned top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with an B+. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Our nursing grade is based on many components, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. In our long-term care grade, we focus on the sheer quantity of services provided by a facility, as well as a few qualitative measures. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 80 percent of its residents. This is multiple points lower than what we were hoping for. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
