Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we wanted to note its excellent short-term care grade. We gave them an A in this category. With our short-term care category, we strive to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this 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 the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This is the facility's worst category score. Nevertheless, you shouldn't dwell on one weak grade. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 92.06349 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
