Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so well is that it was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second most favorable category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 89.62963 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest category is short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a D. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was subpar in multiple staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
