Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate 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
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it was given a very impressive long-term care score. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 77.98742 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our better grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the next area, we gave this nursing home a D in the area of nursing. This is the facility's least impressive category grade. Nevertheless, you should not focus exclusively a single weak grade. There are several factors included in this grade. Most of the factors are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Unfortunately, this place also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed for this category.
