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 look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being a challenge to really grade it in this area.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.619774 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. 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 one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this facility was given a respectable short-term care score. Although this isn't quite as elite as several of its other scores, this is really a middle of the pack score. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is often a fair assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
