Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. Our nursing rating weighs numerous subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received dominant marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it was given one of our most impressive scores in that category with a score of A+. In our short-term care category, we strive to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an impressive grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. This facility was given a better than average long-term care grade this year, with a grade of C. While this wasn't nearly as dominant as several of its other grades, this is still a respectable rating for this category. In our long-term care grade, we focus more on the volume of care provided by a facility, as well as a series of quality metrics. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
