Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.478874 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Our short-term care grades are considered to be most meaningful for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home.
