Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it earned an A+ in short-term care. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Grade: A
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an A. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Adding yet another impressive category grade, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A- for our inspections category.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: D
Turning to the fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category score. However, we wouldn't focus exclusively one poor category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinates 94.44444 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.
