Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B. The nursing rating includes a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B. It performed better than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.8604 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home received an acceptable short-term care score of C. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more important for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
