Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Not many facilities fared better in this category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having all of the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being challenging to really evaluate the place in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a high-end long-term care grade. We gave them a dominant strong of A- in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care, rendering this the facility's worst grade. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
