Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. In computing these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information 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 residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing score is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an impressive grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in our long-term care category, rendering this its least impressive area. We'd still suggest that you consider all of a facility's category grades. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 95.79832 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
