This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its fine profile, this facility also was given an excellent short-term care grade, with a grade of A-. In our short-term care category, we seek to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of 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 all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 97.044334 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Wrapping up its impressive profile, this facility also performed a high level in inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that category with a B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
