Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the area of short-term care. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are commonly used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

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 based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Long-term care grades are based on a nursing home's amount of nursing care. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 94.84536 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
