Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection score. This is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
On the list of its many elite grades, this facility was given first-rate short-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A- in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we graded is long-term care. This nursing home was given an above average long-term care grade, with a B+ in this category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 94.44444 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded was this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for nursing. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning patients more often.
