Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall performance, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating.

You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility truly excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.945206 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B. Short-term care ratings are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of nursing. This is the nursing home's weakest category grade. Naturally, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile a bit. We looked at the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this place also didn't fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed for this category.
