Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded an impressive long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.565216 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our next category is nursing, where we awarded this nursing home a C in that category. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care.
