Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A-. This is far better than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Short-term care grades are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. 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 considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return 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. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. When calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. Of course, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.77465 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
