Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received an A+. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more frequently.

This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility was given an acceptable long-term care grade. Even though this is not quite as good as several of its other category grades, this is really not a major area of concern. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.47328 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
