The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A-. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility also excelled in nursing, where it received an B. Few facilities fared better in this category. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is generally a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the last category, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care grade of C. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.41003 percent of its patients, which is a very solid statistic. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
