Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this facility especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes fared better in this area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider 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.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B. There are many subcategories within this category. Many of these subcategories reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded it one of our higher grades in that category, with a score of B. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.324326 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care score of B-. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
