Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider 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
Among the reasons we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it received a dominant long-term care score. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was short-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. You shouldn't necessarily dismiss a facility because of one weak category though. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
