Awards
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. This really boosted its profile. Short-term care grades are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Our nursing category consists of many datapoints, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This place provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly concerning. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 98.07692 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
