Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-plus
It should also be noted that this nursing home' short-term care grade outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Grade: B-minus
Shockingly, this nursing home actually received a good grade in inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is a good sign for the quality of care at this facility.

Nurse Quality
Grade: C
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: F
Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home didn't perform well. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this was this facility's worst grade. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.83465 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
