Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our short-term care rating. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care, in which this facility received a B. Believe it or not, this turned out to be this facility's weakest category. A facility is doing something right when their worst grade still is better than most nursing homes. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital.
