Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning our third category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care rating. This is a very strong grade. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care, where this facility received a B-. This is this facility's least impressive category. This is still not the end of the world. Long-term care grades are generally used to assess a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.77778 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a bit below what we expected but still a respectable percentage. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
