This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection scores are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive grades. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This really was one of the few weak points of a very solid report card. When computing a facility's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. On top of its below average nursing hours, this place earned poor marks in some of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing scores. We found that more of this facility's patients suffered falls which led to major injury.
