Facility Inspections
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Few facilities fared better in that area. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another quality feature for this facility is that it was given an above average short-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category score. In that category, we gave this facility a B+. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst category. It received an F in this category, which is certainly a bit of a disappointment. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 82.79221 percent of its patients. This is multiple points lower than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
