Facility Inspections
While this nursing home received a decent overall rating, its inspections score is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that category with a B+. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 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.

The next area we analyzed was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home received a decent short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
