Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared this well in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to this facility's list of achievements, it also was given a superb short-term care grade. We awarded them a strong grade of A in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. In this category, we awarded this facility an D. We wanted to point out this possible area of weakness, but you shouldn't dwell on one bad category either. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.82609 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
