Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this facility earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its high-end resume, this nursing home also was awarded a dominant short-term care score, with a score of A. Our short-term care scores are presumably most important for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

The next category we looked at was long-term care. Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in this area. In fact, we awarded it a of A in that area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis.

This facility vaccinated 99.55752 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this facility also excelled in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B+ for this area. This finalized a very impressive report card. In calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
