Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating, where it received an A. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an A in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality
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. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures 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 offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, we awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. However, we would not over-emphasize a single weak score. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 90.613716 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
