Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an A for the area of inspections. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a strong short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed was nursing, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B. This facility ended up being relatively strong in all areas we analyzed. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few subcategories, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
