Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its superb long-term care score. It received one of our more impressive grades in that category, with a score of A-. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.56734 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
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. The nursing score consists of quite a few components, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility 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 place 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
The next area we rated was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of B. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
