Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A-minus
Adding to its impressive grades, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. It does not appear that we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it was difficult to assess it in the inspections category.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B
The third area we looked at is long-term care. This facility received a very positive long-term care grade, with a B in the area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.347824 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Grade: B-minus
The next area we analyzed was this nursing home's worst category. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of B- in our nursing category. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses are with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
