Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home excelled at short-term care. In fact, we gave it an A for that category. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency data for this facility. Without complete deficiency related data for this facility, it ended up being difficult to really grade the place in this category.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing grade includes a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility was given a respectable long-term care score. While this was not nearly as impressive as many of its other grades, this is still not a terrible score. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average datapoint. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
