Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly perfect. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.08676 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. The nursing category consists of several components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care. We awarded this facility a decent grade in this category, with a C. While this wasn't as favorable as several of this nursing home's other scores, it is still not a poor grade. In determining these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
