Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.54601 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
This facility also was awarded a very impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category score. In that area, this facility received a score of A. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
Grade: A-minus
In addition, this facility also earned excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it one of our best scores in the area of inspections, with an elite grade of A-. Few other facilities earned an A- or better in every single category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
