Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received an A-. Our nursing rating includes quite a few factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. With our long-term care rating, we look at the sheer quantity of care provided by a facility, along with a handful of quality datapoints. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care. We gave this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care, rendering this the nursing home's weakest grade. Our short-term care scores are arguably more important for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
