Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled at short-term care, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid inspection report this year as well, with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final area is long-term care, in which we gave this facility a C in this category. Long-term care grades are typically used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 89.89547 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
