Long-term Care Quality
We would like to point out that this nursing home's long-term care rating exceeded its overall score. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. At the end of the day, we definitely found plenty of favorable points on this facility's inspection reports.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care, proved to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. With its weak score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover this place offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
