Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Nursing grades are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are arguably more critical for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care. This facility was awarded an above average long-term care grade this year, with a B. This facility really did not have any weak areas. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
