Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections is its best category. In that area, we awarded it an A. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a favorable long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 95.7346 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, we gave this facility a grade of D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's weakest category rating. Sadly, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It appears that this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
