One of the reasons this proved to be a quality nursing home is that it received a very impressive short-term care rating. In fact, short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this nursing home an A- for inspections. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we rated is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. This is one of the few dings of a quality profile. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.97436 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
