Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas.

Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 2.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care score. Although this is not nearly as impressive as several of its other grades, this is really a middle of the pack score. Long-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing care. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
