Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its first-rate profile, this nursing home also was given a superb short-term care grade, with a score of A. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care. This facility was given a better than average nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B. Even though this wasn't as impressive as some of its other category grades, this is nevertheless one of our more favorable grades in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
