Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Building on its strong performance in other categories, we gave this facility an B+ for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving patients more often.

Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 76.59574 percent of its residents, which is a bit lower than we were hoping for. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home received a C for short-term care, which is an acceptable score. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last statistic we assessed 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 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
