Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong facility is that it received an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections is its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.5 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides. Lastly, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at.

Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for.

The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 4.21 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this admittedly wasn't as strong as most of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
