Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its first-rate long-term care score. It received one of our most favorable scores in that category, with a score of A-. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.57954 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth area, we gave this facility a D for the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. Sadly, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. The nursing grade is based on a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. While this facility didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in a few of the quality-based assessments in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this metric, which was one redeeming quality we found in this category.
