Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strength of this facility is its very strong score in long-term care. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.78813 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the skill levels of those nurses. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this facility a D. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We found that this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
