Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its dominant long-term care score. It received one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. There are several subcategories within this area. Many of the datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. Even though this ended up being its lowest category grade, this is nevertheless not a poor grade. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
