Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
On top of being a strong facility overall, it also received A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
Among this facility's other achievements is its elite short-term care grade. It received one of our most favorable scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Our short-term care ratings are probably most important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Grade: B-plus
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. There are several subcategories within this category. Most of these factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The next category we rated is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
