Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our short-term care category. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded turned out to be this facility's worst area. However, even its lowest point would likely be a strength for many nursing homes. We awarded it a strong grade of B for our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.5 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
