Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many facilities fared better in that area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a superb short-term care grade. We awarded them an elite strong of A- in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is long-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest area. We gave this facility a D in this category. This really is one of just a couple of weak links of a strong report card. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to only 88.46154 percent of its patients, which is well below average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
