Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. In crafting these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
Grade: B-plus
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In determining our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a resident more often.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The final category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a C. This actually proved to be this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless not a major area of concern. Our long-term care grade is often used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.42857 percent of its patients, which is a bit below what we anticipated. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
