Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. We awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our best grades. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We were not able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this nursing home. Without all of the deficiency data, it ended up being difficult to assess it in the inspections category.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other categories, we gave this nursing home an B for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a favorable short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this category. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 86.40351 percent of its residents, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
