Long-term Care Quality
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also fared well in our long-term care category, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared better in this area. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent government inspections. We awarded it an A for that area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient more often.

The last area we scored is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of C. This ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community.
