Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of A- in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care, which was this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. However, you shouldn't judge this facility based solely on one bad area, since it had several superb scores in other areas. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.79518 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
