Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A. The nursing rating considers many subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored turned out to be this nursing home's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- in long-term care. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 96.79144 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
