Facility Inspections
To go along with a strong overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also performed well in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few nursing homes received a better grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Turning to the next category, this facility also earned a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded was nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a strong grade of B. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
