Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A-. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. 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 facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a very favorable inspection grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
