Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a very positive short-term care score, with a grade of B+ in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
In the last category we looked at, this nursing home received a very strong grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this score, the facility rounded out an elite profile. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.05213 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
