Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities.

Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. The nursing category analyzes quite a few factors, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Approximately a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. These are both impressive figures, which typically corresponds with quality care. Lastly, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care. We gave this nursing home an acceptable grade in this category, with a B-. While this was not on par with some of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our long-term care scores are more critical for individuals requiring more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. On top of assessing the favorable volume of care provided by aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were pleased by the nursing home's vaccination statistics. By way of example, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.74419 percent of its residents, which is above average. This combination proved to be successful as this facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.34 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
