Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities fared better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category grades came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive scores in that category, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are critical for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home vaccinated 98.87892 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
