Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. Our inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area 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. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received strong scores in the category of long-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our strongest grades in that area with a score of A. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.60784 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. The nursing rating weighs many datapoints, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning residents more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a grade of C. While this wasn't as dominant as several of this nursing home's other grades, it is nevertheless not a terrible score. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
