Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. Our inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that category, which happens to be one of our better. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It does not appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. When determining our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care. We gave it a C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.89796 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
