Facility Inspections
This facility's overall score was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it a strong score in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

This facility also received a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it a B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home received a grade of C in long-term care, which we consider to be a respectable rating. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
