Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this facility also excelled in nursing. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category. Our nursing rating is mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
Another strong feature for this facility is that it excelled in the area of inspections, with a B in that category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
