Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this place also received top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best scores in this category, with a grade of A+. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B-plus
Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.74267 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our higher grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Short-term care scores are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Grade: C
The next category we graded is nursing. This nursing home was given a C for this category. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a patient more often.
