Short-term Care Quality
In addition to faring well overall, this facility received high marks in our short-term care category as well. It received our highest score in that category with an A+. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. 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
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Nursing scores are largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient more often.

Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Long-term Care Quality
In the final category, this nursing home also was given a very strong long-term care grade, with a grade of A-. This rounded out a straight A report card. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.80478 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes.
