Facility Inspections
Grade: A-minus
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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
Grade: B
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grade is typically used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Grade: B-minus
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B-minus
The next area we scored was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. In our long-term care score, we focus on the sheer volume of care offered by a facility, as well as a handful of quality metrics. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 86.8 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
