Facility Inspections
Grade: A
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in that category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause 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
Grade: A-minus
This nursing home was awarded high grades in the category of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our most favorable scores in that category with a area of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Grade: B
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are many subcategories included in this grade. Many of these datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The last category we scored is short-term care. This nursing home received an impressive short-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of C. Although this wasn't nearly as dominant as several of its other scores, this is nevertheless a decent grade for this category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
