Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned an inspection score which is better than its overall rating. Inspection ratings are based on a facility's recent inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B+ in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility an B+. Our nursing grade assesses many subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a respectable score in the category of short-term care, with a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are vital for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. This facility was given a B- for the area. Long-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 99.67846 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
