Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best grades. Short-term care grades are important for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed at a high level in the area of inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to all of the deficiency related data for this facility, it ended up being challenging to fully evaluate it in terms of this category.

After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 78.125 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points lower than the national average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
