Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an impressive grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our highest grades. This is one of the few facilities with an overall score in this range which received multiple category grades this high. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't 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 necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility received an impressive long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a score of B. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated was nursing, where we awarded it a strong grade of B. This facility truly does not have any weak areas. There are a variety of data points included in this category. Many of these data points are tied to nurse staffing. 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
