Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a nursing home. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 97.89474 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for our short-term care category. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
