Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong facility is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In this category, we gave it an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its top-shelf long-term care score. We gave them one of our more impressive grades in that category, with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care grades are arguably most critical for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a D for the area of nursing, leaving this as the nursing home's worst category. The nursing grade is based on a variety of data points. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
