Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A+ in this area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a strong long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.34711 percent of its patients, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care, is this nursing home's worst area. We gave this facility a D in that area. This really is one of just a few weak points in an otherwise impressive profile. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It appears that this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
