Nurse Quality
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A-. Few facilities fared better in this area. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. 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 the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other accomplishments is its top-shelf short-term care score. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Short-term care grades are commonly used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
Adding another impressive category grade, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Without the information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it ended up being difficult to fully assess it in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this nursing home was given a strong long-term care score. This facility did not turn out to have any real weaknesses. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.76923 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
