Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is a quality score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this area. In the category of long-term care, we focus on the amount of care provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.402596 percent of its patients. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
