Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our short-term care category. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A-. The nursing category weighs a handful of components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category we graded, this facility was given an impressive grade grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this grade, the facility topped off a very favorable report card. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.854965 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
