Short-term Care Quality
On top of faring well in its overall grade, this facility earned an excellent short-term care rating. In fact, we gave it an A in that area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. There are quite a few criteria within this area. Many of the subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. 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 minimizing its residents' 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 assessed is long-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B. Although this turned out to be its least impressive category rating, this is still an above average rating. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
