Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't 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
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care is its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.86364 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this category. In our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, where we gave this facility a C in this category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
