Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home excelled at short-term care, with an impressive grade of A in this category. This really propped up its overall grade. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. 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 residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area ended up being its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing. We gave it a C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Our nursing score includes many components, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient more often.
