In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility was given a decent long-term care score. While this was not as good as some of its other category grades, this is truly a middle of the pack score. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
