Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an B+. There are quite a few criteria within this category. Most of these subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 vaccinated 86.206894 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a bit below what we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.

However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home.
