Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe.

Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its next most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home and found that this facility performed better here. In fact, this facility fared better than most facilities in the country with 52 percent of its residents returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area. In determining our long-term care grades, we look at the assistance with daily living received by a nursing home's residents. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.8022 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
