In addition to earning a strong overall rating, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for this area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies.

A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 nursing home the state 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 turning residents at least once a day.

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Short-term care scores are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services.

We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

The next area we rated is long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent score in that area, with a B-. While this was not as strong as a few of its other scores, it is still not a terrible score. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated only 54.961834 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
