Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we wanted to point out its excellent long-term care rating. We awarded them an A- in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.32886 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a strong grade of B. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
