Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. In our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is long-term care. We gave it a B- in that area. This is a fair grade in this category. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's personal care instead of the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.61315 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
