Facility Inspections
On top of earning a strong overall score, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received a favorable long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.07074 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing grade is based on quite a few components, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be more of a strength for this facility. In fact, we found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in this area with 53 percent of its residents returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
