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 received an impressive grade of A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its quality profile, this nursing home also earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care score, with a grade of B in the category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded is nursing. This nursing home was given a B- in this area. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our score in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this place 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 residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.
