Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its profile, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 72.5 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded was nursing. We gave this nursing home a solid grade in this category, with a grade of C. While this wasn't as high as some of its other scores, it is still not a terrible score. When computing our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
