In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. There are a variety of factors within this grade. Most of these criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. Nevertheless, we wouldn't dwell on one poor score. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
