Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We gave it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.10145 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best category is its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded is nursing. We gave it a C in this area. This is a decent grade in this area. The nursing score includes many data points, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
