Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this place especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes fared better in that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the area of short-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a score of B+. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a useful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next area we graded is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is a decent grade in this area.

This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities.
