Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.59677 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is this nursing home's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a respectable grade of B- for short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
