Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other categories, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ for nursing. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. Long-term care grades are based on the nursing home's amount of nursing care. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.60784 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final category is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a B- in that area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
