Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a quality overall score, this facility also received excellent government inspections recently. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with an A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a very positive short-term care grade, with a B+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B. Believe it or not, this was this nursing home's least impressive area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when it's weakest score still is superior to most facilities. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.54338 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
