Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note the fact that this facility was given a top-shelf grade of A- in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.44144 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next area, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average score in this category. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded proved to be this facility's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for nursing. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
