To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. As a result, we gave it a score of A for that area, which turns out to be one of our most elite scores. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 56.09756 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The final area we assessed was short-term care. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a C. Although this isn't as dominant as many of this nursing home's other grades, it is still not a major area of concern. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
