Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. If it was not for this grade, this facility's overall score would have been much lower. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Grade: A-minus
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
Grade: B
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. The nursing rating assesses many components, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: F
This facility's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category. In spite of a few decent grades in other categories, this score is still concerning so we would like to to point it out. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.70115 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
