Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this place really excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it was awarded an above average long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.05956 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third highest category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is clearly a bit of a concern. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Although this nursing home's nursing hours are below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its residents appear to be sustaining fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
