Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this very important area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given strong grades in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, it received one of our best grades in that category with a area of A. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.3266 percent of its residents, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of C. This is this facility's least impressive category. Our nursing grade is based on a host of subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility averages just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is a very low figure. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.
