Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this proved to be a quality nursing home is it received a very impressive short-term care rating. Short-term care is its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of A-. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing score consists of a handful of factors, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Moving on to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, this facility was awarded a C for long-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
