Short-term Care Quality
A+
Historical
In addition to being a first-rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home with 77.7 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
A
Historical
Turning to inspections, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality
A
Historical
Adding to its remarkable assessment, this facility also was awarded a strong long-term care score, with a score of A. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of offering very impressive levels of nursing care, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
B
Historical
The last category we scored is nursing, where this nursing home received a grade of B. While this ended up being its lowest category score, this is nevertheless a strong score. The nursing category analyzes several components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This place provided 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We were really impressed by both of these figures. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
