Short-term Care Quality
In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility excelled at short-term care, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. The nursing grade includes a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor score. We wouldn't simply disqualify a facility due to one weak grade though. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.004974 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
