Nurse Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for our nursing score. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of B+ in this category. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, which was this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Naturally, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 73.36957 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
