Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its superb short-term care grade. It received one of our most favorable grades in that category, with a score of A-. With our short-term care grade, we try to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
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+. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. However, you shouldn't assess this facility based solely on one bad category, since it earned several very strong scores in other areas. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 87.86885 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly less than the national average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
