Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled in our shot-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.354836 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
We also would like to emphasize the fact that this nursing home was awarded an impressive grade of A in our short-term care area. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Few other nursing homes received an A- or better in every single category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies.

Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale.
