Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong short-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B+ in this area, which is one of our better. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a fair grade in this category. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for patients in need of more conventional assistance related to activities of daily living. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 73.64865 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
