Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall rating, this facility received an A+ inspection rating. This is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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 top notch facility also fared very well in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Only a small group of nursing homes fared better in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.18805 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing category is based on a handful of factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care. We gave this facility a solid score in that area, with a grade of C. While this isn't on par with many of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
