Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also want to point out that this nursing home received favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing rating is largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident even once per day.

In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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.

The next category we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
