Short-term Care Quality
On top of earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that area. Inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. When computing our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

The final area we analyzed is long-term care. In this area, we gave this facility an acceptable grade of C. This actually ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. Long-term care scores are critical for individuals looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 92.06349 percent of its residents, which is a bit lower than we expected. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
