Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.08738 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to another one of this place's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A-. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

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. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we rated proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- in short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
