Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Our short-term care grades are probably more important for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our last category is nursing, where we gave this facility a C in that category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Although this nursing home did not have as many nursing hours per resident as many other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of preventing falls. This is usually a reliable indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
