Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this facility received a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it earned one of our best scores in that area with a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its fine profile, this nursing home also received a dominant long-term care grade, with a score of A. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services.

This facility vaccinated 96.385544 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a favorable short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B+. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing, where this facility was awarded a B-. Although this turned out to be its poorest category grade, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
