Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in this category, with a grade of A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Building on its impressive profile, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. We gave it an B for that category. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home 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 facility 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 typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category was its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Long-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 99.4911 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
