Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this nursing home an A for the area of inspections. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded high marks in the area of short-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most favorable scores in that category with a area of A-. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 96.02888 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
