Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without the information regarding deficiencies, it is a challenge to assess it in this category.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility vaccinated just 82.92683 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility was given a decent short-term care score of C. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most important for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
