Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In this category, we awarded this nursing home an A. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its high-end resume, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, it received a score of A in that area. Our short-term care scores are important for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home received an extremely favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an A- in this area, rounding out a straight A profile. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 90.38462 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
