Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category.

Although we determined this nursing home has an above average quantity of nursing care provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit low. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 86.22951 percent of its patients. This is a statistic we would like to see this nursing home bring up. Fortunately, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a significantly lower hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality-based metrics we assessed in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category we analyzed, this facility received an impressive grade grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this score, the nursing home finished off a very favorable report card. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this facility. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country with 61.2 percent of its patients returning home.
