Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for the area of inspections. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was given a score of B. It performed more favorably than most nursing homes in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this nursing home was given a C in short-term care, which is an acceptable rating. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
