Short-term Care Quality
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility received even higher grades in the category of short-term care. It received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Our short-term care grades are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms 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
The final area we looked at was long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent grade in that category, with a B-. Even though this was not as dominant as some of its other grades, it is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for those requiring more conventional assistance related to activities of daily living. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 86.2069 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
