Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care grade. Short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care, in which we gave it a strong grade of B. This nursing home truly does not have any weak spots. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.08455 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
