Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent long-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A in that area. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 93.46405 percent of its residents. This is somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded a first-rate score of A- in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed was nursing, where this facility was awarded a C. Although this turned out to be its lowest category rating, this is nevertheless not a poor grade. The nursing rating assesses several factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
