Short-term Care Quality
We wanted to point out that this nursing home' short-term care score outpaced its overall score. We awarded it a B+ for short-term care, which is one of our better scores. This helped its overall score. In calculating these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an B+. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. 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 avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade appears to be one of its best features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates it dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. We didn't consider anything on this facility's inspection report to be too concerning.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
