Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Very few facilities performed better in this category. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.8852 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a respectable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
