Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
We also wanted to emphasize that this facility earned an impressive grade of A in our short-term care category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Grade: A
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. There are a variety of subcategories included in this area. Many of the factors relate to nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility 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.

Facility Inspections
Grade: A
We gave this facility an A for inspections. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B
Turning to the next area, this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care rating. Even though this wasn't as strong as many of its other grades, this remains one of the stronger grades a facility can receive. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
