Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we gave it an B+ for that category. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses are with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded an impressive long-term care score this year, with a grade of B-. Although this isn't as dominant as several of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable grade in this area. Our long-term care grades are crucial for patients requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.631584 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
