Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important 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
This nursing home was given a favorable long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 95.10386 percent of its residents, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

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. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home was awarded a C in short-term care, which is generally a decent score. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
