Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also was given a impressive long-term care score. In fact, this ended up being this facility's second strongest category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids.

This nursing home vaccinated 97.36842 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable.

Moving on our third area, we gave this facility a grade of A- for its short-term care grade. This is a very strong grade. In determining these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
In the final category we rated, this facility was given a very favorable grade of A- in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility wrapped up a straight A report card. Our nursing score assesses a handful of factors, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
