Long-term Care Quality
On top of being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really performed well in our long-term care category, where it earned an A-. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.78992 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the area of short-term care. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a score of B+. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
Moving on to another of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
Our final area is nursing, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area. The nursing grade is based on several subcategories, but the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.
