Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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.
Nurse Quality
The second 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 rating is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a B- for long-term care, which is a respectable grade. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents in need of more conventional assistance related to personal care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
