Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of B. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 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 facility's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.354836 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
